What You Will Learn

In this course, we introduce you to the Free and Powerful Xmind Mind Mapping Software and we quickly learn how to use Xmind to Mind Map by working together on a simple and effective To-Do list which we will build, refine and update together step by step.

Once you have mastered the basics we will move onto more advanced Mind Mapping tasks aimed at helping you De-stress, Get Organised, Solve Problems and Make Decisions.

Brain Dumps using Mind Maps

Expanding on the To-Do list exercise we move into Brain Dumps using Mind Maps where we will learn how to:

• Help you de-clutter your mind of all the loose ends and things-to-do-and-remember that can increase stress, reduce your peace of mind and prevent you from living in the present.
• Organize all the tasks that you must do, want to do, and would like to do “if only you had the time” and learn how to group tasks together so you can get them done quickly and easily in a simple, time efficient way.
• Become more productive by reducing task-related stress levels, recording information and tasks so they are not forgotten, and prioritizing what to do and when, in a very intuitive, easy-to-learn way.

• Analyze and define problems correctly and accurately using Mind Maps and the Five Whys Methodology.
