Meetings. Not a day goes by that you’re invited to a meeting, planning for one, avoiding it, or thinking about it. Here are some useful articles that tackle meeting efficiency:
How to Properly Wrap Up a Meeting
If you don’t take down meeting minutes, you’ll hate yourself
A Beginner’s Guide to Mind Mapping Meetings at […]
No, you don’t do it with scissors and tape just like the image on the left indicates. A meeting wrap-up is basically the summary, the last part of the meeting where the people are ready to pack up their stuff and leave. With everyone watching the clock at this point, you need to bring […]
Almost all Some meetings are a complete waste of time. You can easily identify this kind of meeting if you’re sitting in a conference room, thinking “What a waste of time!”. If this is familiar, keep in mind that you’re also wasting money. Figure out exactly how much money a meeting costs […]
You think that mind mapping is just for brainstorming? Maybe a little document outlining? Ah how wrong you are. I think one of the best uses of mind mapping is taking meeting notes. Gaelen links to Lifehacker’s post on mind mapping meetings and points us all to the MindManager map gallery:

CrossLoop is a simple and easy remote access and control application that I’ve tried and used before…with great results. I got an e-mail from them this week letting me know that some new features were on the way. Profy.com beat me to the punch with a review…
