I get asked lots of questions about Mind Mapping in the course of my work and one that crops up quite a lot is the question “Does it have to have personal meaning?”
In my travels around the globe, both virtual and real I am often asked about the difference between Mind Mapping for yourself and the use of your Mind Mapping with others.

A very popular question that I am asked when I share Mind Mapping with people is “Should I use software or should I draw Mind Maps by hand?”

I had been asked to talk to an invited group of movers and shakers, people who are responsible for running multi-million pound companies. My task was to educate them on how they could use even more of their already powerful brains.

The question “how is a Mind Map structured” is another good question that I was asked recently on a course I was running and has two answers:
The first answer is “it depends”. And it depends on what it is you are Mind Mapping and how you are thinking about whatever it is you are thinking about. The organisation of the main branches and the associated sub-branches will entirely depend on just how you are organising your thoughts around your thinking activity.

The question “how do you control a Mind Map” is a very interesting one indeed. It is usually asked when someone has a few Mind Maps under their belt and has begun to see how the use of the tool unleashes their creativity and generation of ideas.
