5 reasons I use Mind Maps
Task
I give myself tasks straight on the map.
Outline necessities and tag them with a call to action.
Tracking
Track progress and keep the map updated continuosly.
I use notes for details that I haven't ironed out yet.
Presentation
I can create cool presentations that I am able to show to others.
I can capture feedback and impact about the complexity of my plan. Also test the coolness level of my idea.
Solution
Outlining more than 1 solution to my problem. My target is to have at least 3 possibilities.
I always look for more ways to get to the finish line.
Brainstorm
I can include all the information that I have about the subject into my mind map.
By the time I start organizing a structure, I'm going to be able to filter what is important or not.
