What they say:  " NeoMem allows you to store and organize all kinds of information in a cross between a word processor and database. The interface is similar to Windows Explorer, except that instead of dealing with files on a hard disk you deal with objects in a file.
It can be used to store to do lists, books, website passwords, addresses, account information, and collections of all kinds. You can define your own classes for items that you want to store information about, and define properties for those objects. Each object can also store formatted text in a simple word processor view."

Screenshot mind mapping software All-in-1 Personal Organizer    
What they say:  " All-in-1 Personal Organizer (APO) is an ergonomic personal information manager (PIM) with three main uses. First, it's a tool for managing any kind of personal information such as tasks, events, contacts, notes, passwords, file links, and Web links. Second, it's a smart image viewer. Finally, it can be used as a mind stimulator useful for reflection, self-analysis, and self-improvement. All information is contained in a password-protected Microsoft Access 2000 database (however, you do not need to install Access 2000). The information is divided into up to 44 customizable domains and an unlimited number of categories. APO can display information not only as a grid or list, but also as a calendar, tree map, tag map, sticky notes, random maps, moving tags, and moving pictures, complete with auto-tiling, drag and drop, and various kinds of animations."
Observations:  Lacks the freedom of a graphs or maps interface so it's not to my taste, but some may like it.

Mindmapping can remove creativity blocks

Here's a view of creativity worth reading. It mentions mindmapping only briefly but it does provide a hint to one of the ways around creative blockage. I've added one of my own at the foot.   [Vic]

Crack the barriers to creativity

Mind mapping can help with creativity – it frees you from the rigidity of lists for example – and with its visual approach stimulates alternative ways of viewing a problem. But here, Joann adds a barrage of other techniques to help you crack barriers to creativity.   [Vic]

Basic introduction to mindmapping

I didn't see why this shouldn't work all the year round. No need to wait for the New Year - here it is.   [Vic]

Mindmapping for the quick-witted

This is a good, quick description of what mindmapping is, when applied to its use for note taking. It’s a little short on specifics and examples, so you’ll have to browse further on mind-mapping.org for those.   [Vic]

Vegetable or royalty – take your pick with mindmapping

Whether you have vegetable or royal aspirations, I can confirm that you'll find mindmapping a great way of calming yourself down when you have many calls on your time, ideas buzzing round your head and objectives to meet. But it must fit your own personal style of thinking, and you must set aside the time to do it! That's how I bust stress, not by mapping out my stressful times. But we're all different, and maybe this will work for you.   [Vic]
