View Full Version : Natural Planning Model as MindManager map

In an effort to be more systematic in my project planning I have translated DA's Natural Planning Model into a MindManager map. It is a straight copy of the model as shown on the GTD template card, plus a branch at the bottom showing some further information that Lisa Peake posted about reviewing projects (can't remember exactly where I found that bit). Run your cursor over the notes icons to reveal the full text. The map helps me stay consistent with GTD methodology as, when thinking larger projects through I build them onto its branches.

I'm finding this item quite handy so I thought I'd share it.

(By the way, everyone who benefits from mind mapping should acknowledge the contribution of the man who introduced the technique - Tony Buzan (http://www.buzanworld.com/)).

Can you convert this to a pdf?

Yes, but there wouldn't be much point because you wouldn't be able to see the embedded notes - just the headings.

You could download the Mind Manager trial (http://www.mindjet.com/uk/download/) and take a look.

There's also a free viewer program to read (but not edit) .mmap files: http://www.mindjet.com/us/download/viewer.php

Mindomo.com also can view MindManager files.

While MindManager is a more sophisticated program, Mindomo.com is a great online version, the basic service is free.

@Howard: Thanks for this map, it will help many people with this method.

Addendum to Popeyes gint to freemind: the 0.9.0 beta 15 is known to be stable and has many more features than the 0.80 stable release.

Yours
Alexander
