5 ways iMindMap can help you prepare for parenthood

5 ways iMindMap can help you prepare for parenthood

July 11th, 2013 by iMindMap

Feeling the pressure of a huge life change? Check out our 5 innovative ways you can use iMindMap to get ready for parenthood.

1. Lists, lists and more lists

Lists can become monotonous, frustrating and downright disheartening. Why not try a different approach: make a Mind Map in iMindMap to display your wish list, or take a shortcut and download our free Mind Map template below.
View your Mind Map on your phone (Apple or Android supported devices), add items to your map as something catches your eye, and sync your updates in the iMindMap cloud (with iMindMap Freedom). As you make purchases, delete or tick items using icons from the iMindMap library. It’s the modern day (and less frustrating) shopping list!

2. Make a Financial Plan

According to the Daily Mail, starting a family can cost more than £5000. Create a realistic financial plan in iMindMap, and learn to budget effectively. Watch the iMindMap Video Tutorial to discover how to export your Mind Map to Microsoft Excel, iWork Numbers or OpenOffice Calc. To complete the process, select the nested table option when you export your Mind Map so all the figures in your map will be totalled – your complete financial plan at your fingertips. What’s more, if unexpected expenses come your way, easily adjust your plan in iMindMap to keep on track.

3. Healthy Eating

Eating healthily will help keep you fit through the sleepless nights to come. Try Mind Mapping your shopping list to make the weekly shop as stress-free as possible. With each branch as a food group, aim for a fairly symmetrical map to achieve a balanced diet, including plenty of fruit, vegetables, protein and vitamin-rich foods. For exciting and tasty menus, see the examples attached to the Mind Map below.

4. Choosing your baby’s name

Your choice of name will shape your child’s identity for life – so choose wisely! Be proactive and brainstorm your favourite names in a Mind Map. Review, add and amend names as your feelings change. In your Mind Map, draw child branches from each name and consider associations, how the name fits with your surname, and meanings. Approaching this task with a fresh perspective can produce surprising results.

5. Create a Rota

When you’re expecting your new arrival, there are a million things to do. Create a rota in iMindMap and make a note of which tasks your family and friends will be doing and when they will be doing them. Once you’re rota is complete, print it off and stick it to your fridge. This way, you’ll feel more organised and it will keep everything running smoothly!

Artificial Intelligence: Friend or Foe?

Artificial Intelligence: Friend or Foe? Manahle Thabet, PhD Brain expert We are living in the age of algorithms, and AI is the natural next step in this age’s evolution. We can’t excise the tech from our lives, but we can benefit from it more and protect even the most vulnerable from abuses by shaping how we use it. AI: The tool Many people worry about artificial intelligence (AI) eliminating jobs and displacing workers, or even taking over human society. A February 2016 report from Citibank and the University of Oxford predicted that  automation threatens 47 percent of U.S. jobs , 35 percent of U.K. jobs, and 77 percent of jobs in China. An August report from Forrester stated that customer service and transportation jobs will be  gone by 2025 , and that we’ll feel the impact of this change within five years. These fears aren’t unfounded, but they may need refocusing. Few of us understand what algorithms are or how they work; to most o...

Keeping Our Thoughts Private in the Age of Mind-Reading

Keeping Our Thoughts Private in the Age of Mind-Reading Manahel Thabet, PhD Brain expert With brain computer interfaces (BCIs) having become commercially available after extensive use in the medical sector, recent research has found that they can be used to hack our brains for PINs or mine our minds for data. What is an EEG, and what have studies concerning its security found? Two new studies by the  University of Alabama  and the  University of Washington  have revealed the malicious possibilities lurking in the shadows of impressive promises of brain-computer interface (BCI) developers: the ability to access PINs and other private information. Electroencephalograms (EEG) are tests that detect electrical activity in your brain using a skullcap studded with electrodes. This technology has been used in the medical sector for years — for example,  to diagnose schizophrenia  as far back as 1998. However it is now due to be used fo...
