It’s mind-blowing – we can brainstorm online in real-time and collaborate whilst sitting on different continents! We can share this mind mapping software on our screens and see each others additions in seconds.

I’ve just discovered the power of MindMeister. And the beauty of being able to get all our thoughts down and organized in one document as we collaborate. Give it try and let me know if it helped you get even more excited about “seeing” your project mapped out in do-able steps?

The free version of MindMeister gives you three mind maps (though I’m already considering signing up for the Premium Edition).

You can export your mind map as a PDF plus many other options. And there are some incredible mind maps to browse, like this one by Robin Good. His map has received over half a million views! If you enjoy sharing your mapping magic then a grand way to gain extra visibility. With the upgrade to the Premium Edition the embedded mind maps can be enabled to live updating.

There are many cool features, you can explore too. The best benefit for my money is collaborating in real-time online. They even have apps for your iPhone and iPad!
