TheBrain :: Mind Mapping Software, Brainstorming, GTD and Knowledgebase Software:
Don't buy it yet as I am speaking to them at the moment. You can download it and use it for free for 30 days after that it will still work but with basic functionality.
It is an amazing tool for capturing ideas, getting all your info into one place you name it.
I've personally been using it for over 5 years and have 10K+ thoughts in there.
I will publish more about the brain at a later stage. It is so easy to get info connected, I don't have to try to remember where I've stored what, I just load it into the brain. I've had it for years and it still amazes me.
Feel free to ask questions about it here.
What I would like to know is how do you currently store information (Digital). What is your system. Do you just try and safe each file in a directory and try to name it something that you can find it again. Can you find files a year later.
How do you link up different types of information? By this I mean how do you connect something in business to something that is happening in your social life that is relevant.
I know Anton, he is an artist, business man, and friend. But he also knows Herman, which is part of CBAN where I've met other people who are connected to Anton. We share some ideas, and concepts. He knows people I know, and come from areas I've been through somewhere in my life. How do I connect those type of dot's? Thats one small part of what I would like to remember, what if you have 50 of those type of connections that have only 2 relevant connections each that you would like to remember? You do the maths it soon gets out of control and you wont remember much.
What if you are selling stuff, your client is knowledgeable on a subject you are very interested in. You would like to remember it, and remind him in the future about it, or casually bring it up. He is also connected to some people you know, and loves the ocean. You have 20 of those clients, with at least 5 random things you want to remember. Get the picture how do you put it together. Well ladies and gentleman - intro The Brain.
This only looks complicated as you don't know the software or probably never used it, but it has endless connections. Some people out there has over 100k connections.
Here is also a link on how they use the brain, keep in mind that this is one of the countless ways you can use it
