I have problems with mindmaps for exactly the opposite problem. They're far too linear. You start off with one root, then branch out from there, whereas I often need a number of roots with branches that merge as well as split.
Which sounds a bit more like a flow chart to me

A flow chart is too linear. The technical term is a directed graph, but I need sort of a mix between

Flippin eck, that looks very technical

Think I will keep to my list making, with arrows going here and there :rotfl: On a really bad day I get out the sellotape and scissors to move stuff around!:j Proud Member of Mike's Mob :j0 -
They are the kind of maps i can relate to Z-

I tried a mind map but ended up with pages of spiders
.
I can do lists, which then need extra bits. I hope you find the inspiration to get extra money. I just need a quick fix for cash flow over the April/May until some govt and contract money comes in. Might have to go to mum for a business loan and offer to pay interest as no bank will help - crazy isnt it, I've found ways to be S/emp and survive but my financial past means I will be affected and rejected by banks much longer than I would actually need any help for IYSWIM.
Off to work on the garden (jungle) this afternoon, if I dont come back send out a search party :eek:One small step for ME, one giant leap for my family!

I think you're right about the two of us, El - more power to our elbow!
I've been out in the garden, with my face turned away from the sun, sadly, getting rid of as much of the buddleia as I can, and sort of deadheading one of the lavenders to help it grow. No way I could do a proper planting plan this year - its definitely a case of getting the bones of the garden the way I want it, then putting in the plants I brought with me, which are still sitting in their plantpots getting hungry ....
Yay to gardening and a bit of sunshine - gardens need at least a year of not much happenning to them to let them evolve - so you're doing yourself a favour by not doing too much too quickly!
Well done!
Hope you sort a money plan - only skim read - sorry - full service post thesis hand in
Love mind map - but mine look like a wierd painting of modern liking when I do them!:rotfl:

Morning!
Yeah to the gardening, fresh air and sunshine! - it's amazing how a little tidying in the garden makes it look a whole lot better!
I always find 'pottering' in the garden the best way to think out plans - the scent of the fresh earth & new growth on the plants seems to clear my head!

I haven't dared to go out there yet, trying to find my map, compass, axe and pack a picnic - I may be a while
