Current users of FreeMind use it for the following
purposes:
- Keeping track of projects, including subtasks, state of subtasks and time recording
- Project workplace, including links to necessary files, executable, source of information
and of course information
- Workplace for internet research
using Google and other source
- Keeping a collection of
small or middle sized notes with links on some area which expands as needed. Such a collection of notes is sometimes called
knowledge base.
- Essay writing and brainstorming, using colors
to show which essays are open, completed, not yet started etc, using size of nodes to indicate size of essays. I don't have
one map for one essay, I have one map for all essays. I move parts of some essays to other when it seems appropriate.
- Keeping a small database of something with structure that is either very dynamic
or not known in advance. The main disadvantage of such approach when compared to traditional database applications are poor
query possibilities, but I use it that way anyway - contacts, recipes, medical records etc. You learn about the structure
from the additional data items you enter. For example, different medical records use different structure and you do not have
to analyze all the possible structures before you enter the first medical record.
- Commented internet favorites or bookmarks, with colors and fonts having the meaning you want.
