“Zen-like approach”

I think I’ve been practicing the wrong type of Zen!

Yes, Moving Thought branched between brain s possible with PersonalBrain. You mass select Thoughts by: control clicking on them for PC users and Command clicking for Mac Users. This will enable you to put all the Thoughts you need in the selection box. If it is alot of thoughs with several generations you can use the "Crawl and modify Selection to auto select X numbers of Thoughts. Once have the Thoughts you what in the selection box. Right click and select copy Thoughts. From there you can open your other Brain and paste these Thought in by going up to the edit menu and selecting paste. Watch this video for a demo of this: PersonalBrain Selection Box http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UM1S0PbXSNQ

Love the brain. use it often.
Here’s a question. I want to collapse a few differet brains into one. How do I do this? there’s whole linked structures that i need to pull from an old brain that is obsolete, and link them into the new brain. how is that possible?

ThanksDavid. Version 4.2 has a new feature that lets you create context sensistive names for brains automatically. This makes using the comma trick even easier. When you create a new Thought, just name it starting with or ending with a comma. The name of the source thought will be automatically inserted.

Thanks for the “reminders” – great stuff. I’ve been using the brain since 2000, and I still have to remember how flexible it is. In particular, jumps and pins are especially helpful when focused on a particular project. I keep second- and third-level thoughts visible and available by creating jumps and pins for them. That way, more concept associations are available and suggested to me immediately (as I’m working on the project). When I’m finished with that project, I just unlink them and remove the pins. I don’t have to navigate the labyrinthine structure of windows file folders.

Shelley, the comma trick was new to me and of immediate benefit. I’m glad it works when you rename Thoughts as well. I had a PersonalBrain guide with parents of PersonalBrain and Guide. Now renamed as PersonalBrain, Guide it is much easier to find. Thanks, David
