Amazing content! Three questions: 1) Any tips on how to approach/move forward if you are stuck on one component during the ideation stage? 2) How do you “communicate” your mind map to others if it’s a project that require team effort? Do you convert/re-create another plan? 3) I find mind map to be super helpful at the brainstorming stage but less useful at the execution stage. How do you go back and forth on your map throughout the project stages (do you)? Do you use a different tool to track progress?

Thanks Eva! Great questions - let's think through them: 1) Mind mapping is a type of systems thinking, so when I'm stuck on one component, I try to zoom out and see how that component interacts with the other nodes. For example, if I'm not sure how to approach the "Deliverables" node, I'd think through what sort of medium my "Audience" would be most receptive to in order to deliver on my "Objectives". For instance, if they are very busy people who are commuting to work and just want to get the gist of something and go, and assuming the average commute time is 20-40 minutes, then perhaps videos aren't the best approach. 20-30 minute podcasts would be better for that audience. 2) This is something very common that I do with my team. For people who aren't familiar with mind mapping, I'll use a computer program like iThoughtsX or MindNode because it's easier to walk through than my messy handwriting :) It's also important to restructure your map in a way that people are more used to like a clockwise fashion, then you can present through a linear sequence. That's for presentation. If you're building out a map with a team, then look at it like a white boarding session and populate the map together, finding structure and where things fit as you go, though admittedly this is more difficult while we're working remotely. I typically will create an initial map first and work with stakeholders to populate/modify it as needed so you're not starting from scratch. 3) So nearly all of my final deliverables (product designs, blog posts, pitch decks etc) originate from mind maps, so you're right in that they are great for the ideation phase (either individually or as a team) - to capture all the relevant contents and organize them in a coherent/unified manner. However, for execution, I typically will move to another tool (ex: Google docs for writing, PPT for decks, Sketch for design mockups) while referring to the map as the guide. Hope this helps and let me know if you have any other questions!

I remember , I was using this technique in my college days to make short notes. That time I wasn't aware about this technique name. Thanks for reminding me.

❤️ God Bless Mind Map’s Father, Tony Buzan… 😇😇😇😇😇

Thanks for the great content! I'm starting out in a new BA career and your whole approach to projects etc. has been invaluable. Wishing you continued success!

I don’t know how I missed this, it’s such a wonderful content

Well done. In semi retirement I’m determined to get more use out of mind maps. I have used MindManager for documentation of workflows for a number of years but see a world of possibilities with this product. It’s pretty cool what you have demonstrated with paper and pen!

Super helpful! This will definitely give me a roadmap to set out my goals in doable, clear steps. Thank you.

Really well done Sheng, thank you.

The content, background music and your style of presenting...perfect ever, You gained another subscriber. Kudos to you.

Just discovered your channel and inspired by the simplicity of a skill I tried and just never really took to it... in hindsight I obviously overcomplicated the concept. Thanks @Sheng, immensely helpful as I transition from consulting to project management.

This was a beautifully produced video I have to say. You went into the right amount of detail without getting into the weeds. Appreciate it!

Ah....someone who speaks my language!!! Loved this video. I LOVE mind mapping! Great job sharing out and modeling how you utilize it. Keep it up1

As a visual learner, this really resonates. Thanks!

So well explained. Thanks, Sheng. You are so good at creating and editing videos!

This was beyond helpful. Thank you endlessly 🧡🧡

Best Mindmap explainer I've seen Plus great tips! Thanks 3000!

New to mind mapping - this was very well explained. Thank you!

Excellent tutorial! You are cleat, articulate & engaging. Thanks, Sheng.

Very accurate presentation of the topic.Thank you Sheng!

Fantastic channel, Sheng! Life has thrown me a few curve balls lately which require organized thinking to handle. Your techniques and advice are helping me big time. Thank you! It occurred to me this week to take a casual look at my youtube channels and saved videos (of which I have many!), along with web browser favorites. Digital clutter, noisy, maddening! But I soon realized that I was looking at loads of readily available, mine-able self-knowledge, and, in particular, input to mind-maps.

Oh so glad to hear this has untangled (or at least started to) this for you!

Just discover your content and absolutely love it!!! The only problem I am having is deciding whether or not Mind Mapping is for me. I kinda feel like it's not, especially on paper. I would say that I am primarily a lister. So I guess I have two questions for you. 1. Do you believe there's a difference between mind mapping and listing? 2. Would you say it's better to do the mind mapping on electronics instead of paper?

Vou tentar aprender seu método. Parece muito com meu processo de trabalho! Gostei muito!

Also liked how your gave a real life example of how you implement mind maps in your own planning (eg launching a KZread channel and prioritizing qualitative feedback first). It gives an opportunity for people to learn "micro-lessons" along the way of learning the bigger picture concept you're sharing.

Thanks. It was insightsful & interesting.

Hello Sheng. I use simplemind on my laptops (in free mind setting thats the fastest way to write down meetings when we sitting in teamsmeetings) , android phones, ipad and sync every thing on one drive and can open it on the phone in the night, and next morning on the laptop. I have worked with it for many years now. But must also learn to do more work in a book with two or three pilote pen since some work can not be done and synced to clouds. It was interesting to see how You learn about it. Very helpful, thank You. I also try to build up same structure in onedrive, beacuse we not have simplemind on my work system. But here I are only in the beginning of the prosess.

Nice content and great pro tips!

Thank you so much for teach us some things new. It will really helpful for me to take my decision more clearly.
