I ran across mind-mapping many, many years ago when Tony Buzan, who’s right and left brain researcher in England, is very involved with the education system and schools and kids and how they learn. KELLY FORRISTER: When we looked at today, we actually wanted to come up with some both framing for mind-mapping, some of you might not be familiar with it, except to know that it’s in the GTD book or you’ve heard of other people doing this concept and this technique, so we’re going to give you a framing of what it is if you’re brand new, remind those of you what it is who’ve been practicing it and stepping into it.ĭavid can you kick up off and talk about: What is mind-mapping?ĭAVID ALLEN: Sure, and I’m sure there’s probably a range of all of you listening in right now and watching in terms of what your familiarity is. Stay tuned to the end of this webinar as well and they’ll be a special coupon code waiting for you then.Īnd now, without further ado, here’s David Allen and Kelly Forrister, with a webinar on Mind Mapping. We do want to make you aware that this webinar first showed up on GTD Connect and you can get early access to hundreds of other webinars instantly, as well as become part of an amazing community by heading to /podcast and clicking on GTD Connect. I love David’s quote in Making it All Work, “If your focus on any project or situation seem scattered and disjointed and every time you bring the topic to mind your brain goes slightly on tilt, bouncing around like a pinball, the ideal solution to get your thinking under control is to brain-storm.” He goes on, “If you write down the idea, a part of you knows that your brain no longer has to keep hold of it, so it’s free to range and roam into new territory.” Sometimes, I think the free-form nature of brain-storming can cause those of us who haven’t really ever experimented with it to undervalue it’s worth and our hope is that after today you might give it another look. Today we’re excited to bring you a webinar that David Allen and Kelly Forrister did on Mind Mapping, which can be a part of the brain-storming component of project planning. Mason, and this podcast is all about helping you on your journey, practicing the art of stress-free productivity. Welcome everyone to Getting Things Done, GTD for shorthand.
