@britt #mindmaps, always. When paper, a mix with #SketchNoting , on the computer #FreePlane . Haven't found anything good yet for Android.
For learning from a talk or a textbook. I prefer hand-drawn/-written notey :

Looks to me like a plain insult to anyone who has a decent mind.
Actually that probably was made by this @ bitPick guy. He once won an IT competition using a joke of mine at @unikassel, he even got an internship contract, can you believe that?
Than he made them invest in #mindManager, crashed the entire IT #GNUlinux setup of #FB11 for a whole weekend .. only to use now #FOSS and #freePlane to do his show off.
.. that guy us no good, always remember:

I agree that the graphic output of #Freeplane could be improved, closer to the original Buzan mind mapping style. I had tried in the past several other programs. The reason I stick with FreePlane is that its free and AND has been and is still continuously developped. A lot of the others you need either to buy ( and you have no way to suggest improvements) or they have only a short livespan. I think I have maps that are at least 10 years old

@amadeus @cobratbq well, #FreePlane has a clean and simple UI. I don't see how then you find it "not modern" ? And it has a wealth of features to be discovered : linking among nodes, among different maps, to files, directories and websites, searching across maps; notes, tags and actions for each node, different styles, freefloating nodes, all kinds of formating forceach node .....

@cobratbq @amadeus
Yes, I have been using #Freeplane for years for #MindMapping:it is great, regularly improved, has an active community and even a Zotero plugin

@tomstafford I found Stephen Coveys "First things First" really helpful. I use #Freeplane to organise my tasks, so I can drag tasks from different projects into "do today", this gives an overview that there are not too many; and also have "do within this week", "within this month" etc. Also the urgency/importance matrix from Covey : avoid to do things that are neither urgent nor important (so find out what is important for you), and reserve times for things that are important (but not urgent).
