Or I should say, frequently, I do not consciously think in linear progressions. As a rule, I tend to think and process information either verbally, tactically (e.g. writing down initial thoughts and continuing via exploration), or through pictures: I draw insights and conclusions from time and dimensional disparate data.
Mind mapping tools are great for us non-linear, and/or picture centric information processors. Here’s a short video from the father of mind mapping, Tony Buzon.

Michael – Thanks for the shout out and this video on mind mapping. The concept of using multiple colors is intriguing. I’ve largely moved to single colors when taking notes, but will see about incorporating multiple colors more effectively.
