Amazing content!
Three questions:
1) Any tips on how to approach/move forward if you are stuck on one component during the ideation stage?
2) How do you “communicate” your mind map to others if it’s a project that require team effort? Do you convert/re-create another plan?
3) I find mind map to be super helpful at the brainstorming stage but less useful at the execution stage. How do you go back and forth on your map throughout the project stages (do you)? Do you use a different tool to track progress?
Thanks Eva! Great questions - let's think through them:
1) Mind mapping is a type of systems thinking, so when I'm stuck on one component, I try to zoom out and see how that component interacts with the other nodes. For example, if I'm not sure how to approach the "Deliverables" node, I'd think through what sort of medium my "Audience" would be most receptive to in order to deliver on my "Objectives". For instance, if they are very busy people who are commuting to work and just want to get the gist of something and go, and assuming the average commute time is 20-40 minutes, then perhaps videos aren't the best approach. 20-30 minute podcasts would be better for that audience.
2) This is something very common that I do with my team. For people who aren't familiar with mind mapping, I'll use a computer program like iThoughtsX or MindNode because it's easier to walk through than my messy handwriting :) It's also important to restructure your map in a way that people are more used to like a clockwise fashion, then you can present through a linear sequence. That's for presentation. If you're building out a map with a team, then look at it like a white boarding session and populate the map together, finding structure and where things fit as you go, though admittedly this is more difficult while we're working remotely. I typically will create an initial map first and work with stakeholders to populate/modify it as needed so you're not starting from scratch.
3) So nearly all of my final deliverables (product designs, blog posts, pitch decks etc) originate from mind maps, so you're right in that they are great for the ideation phase (either individually or as a team) - to capture all the relevant contents and organize them in a coherent/unified manner. However, for execution, I typically will move to another tool (ex: Google docs for writing, PPT for decks, Sketch for design mockups) while referring to the map as the guide.
Hope this helps and let me know if you have any other questions!
@@ShengHuang thank you!
Great questions & answers, thank you guys!
I remember , I was using this technique in my college days to make short notes. That time I wasn't aware about this technique name. Thanks for reminding me.
Just discovered your channel and inspired by the simplicity of a skill I tried and just never really took to it... in hindsight I obviously overcomplicated the concept. Thanks @Sheng, immensely helpful as I transition from consulting to project management.
This video is beautifully produced with A+ content. I'm glad it was one of the first videos recommended to me for mind mapping!
Fantastic!
@@ShengHuang me too thank you!
I don’t know how I missed this, it’s such a wonderful content
Well done. In semi retirement I’m determined to get more use out of mind maps. I have used MindManager for documentation of workflows for a number of years but see a world of possibilities with this product. It’s pretty cool what you have demonstrated with paper and pen!
Ah....someone who speaks my language!!! Loved this video. I LOVE mind mapping! Great job sharing out and modeling how you utilize it. Keep it up1
Super helpful! This will definitely give me a roadmap to set out my goals in doable, clear steps. Thank you.
Thanks for the great content! I'm starting out in a new BA career and your whole approach to projects etc. has been invaluable. Wishing you continued success!
The content, background music and your style of presenting...perfect ever, You gained another subscriber. Kudos to you.
❤️ God Bless Mind Map’s Father, Tony Buzan… 😇😇😇😇😇
As a visual learner, this really resonates. Thanks!
This was a beautifully produced video I have to say. You went into the right amount of detail without getting into the weeds. Appreciate it!
I just heard the word "mind mapping". Today after watching few videos I found this one. You made it very simple and clear so a new learner can easily understand this concept. Thank you.
A learner from Pakistan :-)
Sheng, thank you. Your content and style of presenting are of high quality. Keep it up, and let's make the world a better place.
Thanks for dropping by! Let's do it!
Best Mindmap explainer I've seen Plus great tips! Thanks 3000!
Ok so I’ve done my first mindmap and pretty pleased - already feel a lot more organised! 🤓 The visual example in the video was really helpful. And thanks for the tip about pressure erasable pens - didn’t know those even existed 🙈 brings a whole new perspective on note taking!
Haha I'm glad it helped and congrats on your first mind map :) Yes those pens are game changers and transform all of my notebooks into portable whiteboards!
Ohhh think u just saved the batterylife of my nonstop ideabubbling but uncategorized mind!! Thank u SO MUCH!! :)))
This was beyond helpful. Thank you endlessly 🧡🧡
The step-by-step example is so helpful! Thank you!
So well explained. Thanks, Sheng. You are so good at creating and editing videos!
Excellent tutorial! You are cleat, articulate & engaging. Thanks, Sheng.
Thank you for this video, made me realise the power of mindmapping! My favourite would be connecting the dots as I don’t usually do that but now I will start implementing more.
I’m looking forward to mindmapping for accelerated learning 😌 glad to have found your channel as your content is quality and your discipline & life philosophy is admirable :)
Thank you so much for your kind words Jie!
New to mind mapping - this was very well explained. Thank you!
GREAT WORK ❤❤❤
I admire your way of articulating the message I learned alot and inspired. I can't wait for more content. Thank you for sharing.
Really well done Sheng, thank you.
Thank you! Easy to follow and understand.
Fantastic channel, Sheng!
Life has thrown me a few curve balls lately which require organized thinking to handle. Your techniques and advice are helping me big time. Thank you!
It occurred to me this week to take a casual look at my youtube channels and saved videos (of which I have many!), along with web browser favorites. Digital clutter, noisy, maddening! But I soon realized that I was looking at loads of readily available, mine-able self-knowledge, and, in particular, input to mind-maps.
Thanks Dan for your kind words! I'm glad the videos are helping my friend. Hahaha I get the overwhelming amount of information out there but I'm glad you took the time out to intentionally parse out the pattern in all the content you've saved. Hopefully that'll give you some direction in your growth and learning. Have a wonderful week ahead!
Very accurate presentation of the topic.Thank you Sheng!
I really enjoy your videos! Keep them up Sheng, the pacing, animations, and structure is excellent!
Also liked how your gave a real life example of how you implement mind maps in your own planning (eg launching a CZcams channel and prioritizing qualitative feedback first). It gives an opportunity for people to learn "micro-lessons" along the way of learning the bigger picture concept you're sharing.
Truly amazing! Objective , nice and clean !
Really good tips here. I've been mind mapping for a few years and have taught several people the basics of it. Wanted to level up my game and this video has already sparked a few more nodes on my "get better at mindmapping" map. haha
Glad it was helpful! More coming soon
Thank you for this very clear video!!
Great video - thanks for making it for us! I'm excited to try it on my work and personal projects!

Thanks for your content!
Thanks and coming soon!
Wow. Great video. Thank you
Great video Sheng! Well done . . .
Great! Your presentation was clear and concise. I apply mind maps to articulate concepts, and they prove beneficial in problem-solving and addressing issues within a value stream map.
Thank you for the positive feedback! I'm thrilled to hear you found it clear and concise. It's particularly interesting to learn about your application of Mind Maps to articulate concepts, especially within the context of problem-solving and addressing issues in value stream mapping.
I deeply appreciate your insight on how you personally leverage Mind Maps. Their versatility and effectiveness in organizing thoughts and fostering a deeper understanding of complex issues never cease to amaze me.
Your approach to integrating mind maps into your workflow, I'm sure, is inspiring to others.So thank you, again, for sharing.
It's exciting to see such practical applications in action.
Such a great video!

Great video Sheng! Thank you for sharing this
Glad you enjoyed it!
fantastic!
Thanks. It was insightsful & interesting.
I really appreciated this video. Thank you!!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent nad most helpful !
I strongly agree. I started using mind mapping as the work breakdown structure in the early 1990s. Mind Manager software is a great tool for making them attractive and you can export your map to other programs. Nice video.
Thanks for dropping by and the comment James!
Super helpful! Thnk you! It helped me identify where I was STUCK in my project planning process!! I have been banging my head against the wall for months! yay!
I'm super glad to hear that Justine :) I know that stuck feeling all too well haha
Thanks for the amazing content. The most important thing is that we gotta be honest with ourselves when we write down our ideas even it is mind map
That's exactly it. Most of my mind map videos especially the recent one reflects that. czcams.com/video/LENzKzW4jZ0/video.html
Great concepts..thanks.
Vou tentar aprender seu método. Parece muito com meu processo de trabalho! Gostei muito!
Thank you so much ❤ from France
This is the best video I have seen on mind mapping! I used to think mind mapping does not fit my learning and thinking style. But after watching this in depth video, I have changed my mind. I will be using these new tips that I have learnt and start using mind maps alongside my existing methods. Thank you!
Glad you liked it! I'll be showing more examples soon :)
@@ShengHuang fantastic, I will look forward to seeing them 😀
I’m about to start my anatomy class. I am bout to try road mapping. Thank you 🙏
Great stuff. Thanks
Just discover your content and absolutely love it!!! The only problem I am having is deciding whether or not Mind Mapping is for me. I kinda feel like it's not, especially on paper. I would say that I am primarily a lister. So I guess I have two questions for you. 1. Do you believe there's a difference between mind mapping and listing? 2. Would you say it's better to do the mind mapping on electronics instead of paper?
Thank you so much for teach us some things new. It will really helpful for me to take my decision more clearly.
Glad it was helpful!
Hope you got this going - good luck to you!
you give me the tools and inspiration that I was needed to continue my youtube proyect, thank you, you are very interesting
Great to hear! And best of luck on your YT journey!
When I first wached one video of this channel, I subsribed immediately. Mind map is so essential for everyone, like you said in this video, life is so messy, we need to orgnize in some way. Actually I am here to practice my English for study abroad next year, and meanwhlile I am so honored to learn how to use mind map and even learn something about life and a better understanding of it, so cool, the pleasure is all mine. Thank you so much again, attractive by your not fast or slow rhythm, your tone and so. At beginning I have a thought in my mind that I am afraid that you will stop updating, now it seems that that could not happen, my thought is redundant, I will go over all the videos one by one and many times until I can understand completely, by that time I think my englishi has improved.
Thank you and I hope it is helpful :)
love you man, great stuff
Appreciate it!
Great video. Really helpful
Thank you so much Sir this is a Big help to me as a college student and it will help me more to create my mind map more broad and solid. I am looking forward for many tips and explanation you gave to us. Again Thank you! I really appreciate it.
Glad to hear that and I'll keep them coming!
Great Vid Bro - No doubt you're smashing it, as you made this 2 years ago
Great video - I have found MindMaps to get great - the HUGE tool upgrade for me was going with iPad 12.9” and GoodNotes 5 and PaperLike ... the zoom, resizing, copy-paste, move options with iPad is unbeatable ... WHAT, WHY, WHEN, WHO, HOW is great set of generic questions
Totally agree!
Excellent! Direct and to the point. I use mind maps to help explain concepts and connections to students, it also can be helpful in problem solving and issue within a value stream map. Also very helpful to further my work in this area. Thank You!
You're very welcome Tom! It is indeed a very flexible tool
Just subscribed - incredibly underrated channel
this is the introduction to mind maps, i've been looking for a while to get started!!!
Thank you
Suggestion: Add Playlists of the different series you make, i was trying to find the next video of the mind map series that you mention at the end.
Perhaps add the link to the next video in your info under the video?
Great work, good quality!
It's interesting to notice how the light you use affects your skin color, i like the yellow light you used in 'Make Sense of this Messy World - Mind Maps'
But perhaps you could analyse what works best for you.
Thank you
What great feedback! I've implemented it :)
