I don’t want to sound like I’m trying to sell you this program, but I had to recommend it. I absolutely love this. I’ve used it to get my thoughts down, to take notes, to plan, and to organize.
I love that it allows me to see the big picture at a glance and gives me access to my resources very quickly.

I’ll give you a few examples of how I use this program to help me.

Web Sites: I use this program to brainstorm the develop of a site. Just about all aspects of the site will be put in this program and then I can track my progress on each task I’m working on. Great way to organize.
Resume: Using this program for your resume can be a great help. I’ve used it as a central database (so to speak) of my qualifications, education, experience, and accomplishments. I include anything and everything that I do that could be a benefit to a future employer. I include links, documents, urls, etc, in case I need to refresh. I don’t use it to just copy my resume. It’s much better used to provide a snapshot of yourself. Then when it’s time to write your resume, you have your complete history at your fingertips. Takes the pain out of writing a resume for each job you’re applying for.
Military Application: I used it to create a map of the sections of the application that had to be done. The application consisted of various sections which had certain requirements that had to be met before submitting the application (fitness, documents, etc). The map allowed me to see what I had completed, what needed to be done, and what I had left to do. This was great help.
Internet Marketing: I have a map created with my goal in the center and then I have have tools, resources, and notes recommended by the gurus or discovered myself. What I like the most is that it allows me to see everything at a glance and it links directly to the resources. For example, I can link directly to an eBook I read and if I took note of a particular paragraph, I can add those notes to the link for easy reference. I also like that I can link directly to excel files and actually display the excel file right in the program. What a cool program. Well worth the money.

Like I said, I love Mindjet MindManager 6 (aff) and highly recommend it. Without a doubt one of the best programs I have used.
