***I have used the informationto to write an article and to give a talk. You know, one thing about mindmapping is they are sort of burned into your brain since you are using symbols/words/associations, etc, so it is VERY impressive to not bring notes when speaking. I like to walk around the room when I speak.....so it makes it REALLY fun.

I read SOMEWHERE that one can't write an outline until all the thinking is done. With mindmapping, as you become more proficient you create your outline as the thinking happens.
I think as with any other skill, it takes time, effort, energy and practice to become a skilled mindmapper. Thats one of the challenges with current mindmap books. Many are theoretical, and not about creating and actually using one.
