Stay Clear and Focused on Your 2012 Resolutions with Visualization
The New Year is shiny and bright. Now is the time when we can look back on past accomplishments and mistakes of the previous year and start anew. Whether you are building on your previous Thoughts and projects or starting a new Brain, visualization software and mind maps enable you to formulate clear and doable plans for the New Year in a way that captures your best thinking.

As we enjoy the warmer weather and relaxed ambience of summer, the season brings us an opportunity to be inspired and bring new ideas to life. Right now deadlines may not be as pressing as they are at year-end for some businesses, or you might be stepping in for a vacationing colleague, or travelling yourself. All these circumstances can trigger fresh ideas and allow you to explore uncharted territory.
Use PersonalBrain to make your summer shine, by capturing and growing your creative ideas and projects.
We are a society of overcommitted and far too busy people. Sometimes it can feel like our day is gone before we even get started. With so many responsibilities and projects moving at once it’s critical to manage and control the flow of your information, your time for each project and even the desirability of the projects themselves.
Last month we did a Webinar called “First Things First” that explored how PersonalBrain can be used for prioritization and focus of projects. Here are a few key principles that we discussed.
These days very few of us leave our projects at the office. Taking work home or working remotely, while giving you the convenience of writing a proposal in your pajamas, is not without its challenges.
When we work remotely our attention can become very fleeting: the call of domestic chores, the cat swiping at the cursor… We only need to gaze out at the yard and our mind wanders from completing the monthly sales report to weekend yard work.
There is no limit to the number of Thoughts and connections you can make in a single Brain.
This unique ability of PersonalBrain makes it ideal for visualizing and organizing large information networks as well as moving beyond standard mind mapping applications
Many users take advantage of PersonalBrain’s scalability and create an all compassing Brain for everything. While others opt for smaller, separate Brains. In this article I will explore each approach to creating a Brain and provide some guidelines for what might be best for you.
