I love to scribble on a piece of paper to organize my thoughts. I actually keep a drawing book handy and use that any time I am thinking up a strategy. My mind maps are not as organized as many tools can create, but they do the job! But if you need to share your ideas with someone else, you need something better than just pen and paper! Here are a few tools that can help you capture and map yours and your buddies ideas in a “beautiful” way!
And of course, you can use so many desktop mind mapping tools if you wish, including FreeMind. You may also want to check out the Mind Mapping blog.
