 Mind mapping is a way of taking notes , capturing ideas , exploring concepts and   breaking down information into a more readily understood format . It ’s a place where   visual representations and written representations of things merge to create   something that is more natural to the mind ; it works with and represents the way we   think , where as paragraph - based text is not representative of the thought process at   all . 

 There are a million and one uses for mind mapping . You can use it to study for a big   exam . You can use it brainstorm new article ideas , or flesh out what needs to be   covered in the business plan for a new venture . You can organize a big move of   house ; heck , I ’ve seen people use the mind map format for their daily to - do lists   ( each to their own , eh ? ) . 

 Applications 

 Freemind is one of the most popular free mind mapping applications out there , and   that ’s mainly because it ’s in Java and thus cross - platform ( and because it ’s a great   app , of course ) . This software implements some of the major features that digital task   lists have over paper task lists : retractable and expandable branches and   hyperlinking between different branches make it easier to organize and easier to   connect ideas . 

 bubble.us is a free web - based mind mapping application . You can sign up for an   account in order to save your mind maps , but better still , they do n’t force you to get   an account to start creating . The interface could use some work to make it a truly   usable application . 

 Insight and approach 

 There are huge advantages to creating your mind maps with paper and pen . In fact ,   though I ’ve tried many different mind mapping programs over the years , pen and   paper remains my favourite way of creating them . Some would say that it is a part of   the process . That said , there are distinct advantages in using software and sometimes   you need to decide what the best tool for the job is on a case by case basis . For when   that time comes , here are 11 free mind mapping applications and web services .
