Organise your thoughts and your
workspace: Capture digital notes with the Brainstorm View
April 6th, 2017 by iMindMap
Information overload is a real
problem today, increasing stress levels and draining productivity in the modern
workforce. From taking meeting notes to researching for your next big project,
it’s easy to feel overwhelmed when faced with copious amounts of information.
How do you begin to make sense of it all? How will you remember the details?
iMindMap’s unique Brainstorm
View will help you to make sense of the chaos and pinpoint your focus. Gather
and organise your notes, research and ideas digitally, keeping your workspace
and thoughts clear so that you can concentrate on the things that matter. With
an infinite, adaptable canvas, and a range of tools to prompt organisation, it
provides a flexible space to bring order to information quickly. Read on to learn
more about the Brainstorm View…
Visually represent your thoughts
Our brains love images. In
fact, studies show that we process visuals 60,000 times faster than text! If
you have any important ideas or information that you need to stand out, adding
visuals to your notes is the way to go. Bring your ideas to life and make them
more memorable by uploading a background
image on to the Brainstorm View canvas, or select one from
iMindMap’s extensive image
library. Unlike a monotone list, the Brainstorm View’s visually
engaging custom canvas
images will brighten up your work, making your note
creating a much more enjoyable process.
Create and coordinate endless ideas
Is your desk buried under reams
of hand written notes on loose paper? Use the Brainstorm View’s infinite canvas to
gather large volumes of information and bring order to your work. Add sticky notes to
the canvas, then categorise and highlight information by colour coding them.
Forget formatting distractions and stay focused using sticky notes that automatically
expand as you type. Add sticky notes into groups or lists to organise
large volumes of information with ease. As your ideas grow and develop, you
will have the flexibility to convert sticky notes and lists into groups and
back again in just a few clicks. Bring instant order to your creations with
the Clean Up feature.
Categorise and view your ideas, in your own way
No matter how large your
brainstorms, the Icon
Manager will help you categorise information. Assign icons to your
sticky notes, lists and groups to create a unique classification system.
Visually categorising your notes will help you to find information and see
related elements at a glance. You can upload your own or choose from the icon
library. Flashcards are
a useful way to view your notes when you need to keep extra information hidden.
Use them as a recall tool to test your memory, or as speaking prompts when
presenting your ideas.
Consolidate information and stay connected
Transform your brainstorm into
a resource hub using Attachments.
Gather all your web links, audio files, videos, documents, notes and more in
one place. Attachments will only appear when clicked on to maintain the clarity
of your notes and minimise distractions. The Relationshipsfunction
gives you a quick way to link your thoughts. Draw connections between sticky
notes with a digital string to see related information at a glance.
Manage and update ideas efficiently
The side panel is
equipped with tools to make locating, organising and editing your notes a
breeze. It provides fast access to the formatting and customisation tools you
need most. Working with a lot of information? See your ideas in a vibrant list
format with the Outline
Panel. You can rearrange your ideas from directly within the
Outline Panel for a fast and easy way to re-organise your thoughts. Or, select
and drag items from the canvas and drop them into the Outline Panel to shuffle
your sticky notes around. With the Search
Filter, you can filter your notes and locate specific ideas
quickly, however large your work may be.
Take your ideas further in no time
Once
you’ve gathered and organised your notes, click and switch to any of
iMindMap’s views to work in a different way. Use the Mind Map View to develop
your ideas further, or turn them into an actionable timeline with the Time Map
View. When you switch between views, any information on your sticky notes will
be carried across. With no work lost and automatic formatting updates, the
entire digital thought process is seamless.
If your
notes require action, send your ideas in to integrated visual task management tool, DropTask,
to follow every task through to completion. Use DropTask to schedule tasks,
assign tasks to others and order them by priority in real-time.
Constantly trying to keep
on top of a hectic workload while managing all the information being thrown our
way is a tough balancing act. However, with the Brainstorm View as your go-to
tool for gathering and sorting information, you can clear your head, regain
your focus and achieve peak levels of productivity at work.
