Review of Mind mapping

Vic Gee's article on mind mapping takes you concisely through what mind mapping is. It provides examples and links to more examples (perhaps the best way of seeing whether mind maps would be useful to you is to look at examples). It provides a list of software applications you can use to make mind maps, if you prefer this to drawing them on paper. It is good to find an article that avoids common perils of articles about mind mapping: to become overly gushing,  to dwel too much on definitions and who invented what, or give a lot of space to theories of the mind. These matters are not so interesting if you just want to work out whether mind mapping can help you. Vic Gee's article avoids these perils and is a good practitioner's introduction.
