An Open Love Letter to Mindjet MindManager 7

MindManager Project management map

Gotta love the folks at MindJet. As the count-down continues (4 more days!) until MM7 is released, here is a great map idea–use a drafting table metaphor.
You can, and I would suggest, taking it to the next level. Dart board? Cork board? I think with the right background image you can […]

Stuck creating a document? Try using a template

So you need to create a new document.  It doesn’t matter if you’re using Microsoft Word, Excel, or PowerPoint (or even OpenOffice), looking at a blank screen is almost as daunting as getting the document done.

Brainstorming results in innovative ideas

In the beginning, so to speak, there was brainstorming. And it was good.
It just didn’t work out very well in practice…
Brainstorming is critical to finding innovative ideas that will solve specific problems, both in your personal and business life.

Unusual ideas are welcome
Combine and improve ideas

Kind of like […]
