MindManager Day 1

Well first off let me just say I survived this week and faired alright. It seems I always like to push myself to do better and and strive for perfection even when it is unreasonable but that is just my personality. Regardless I am done for a week and get to start SPRING BREAK!!! I really need the break as I have been really stressed out lately so although I am not going anywhere warm and fun I still am looking forward to the time off.

What is even more exciting for me is that my MindManager copy came yesterday and although I was too busy to play with it then I did load it up tonight. It was your basic install and everything seems to go fairly well. I am not all that familiar with MindManager although I did try it out when I first got my Tablet PC but for my wallet's sake, after throwing down $2000 on my X41 tablet and other programs and accessories, I don't think my bank account would have been able to handle spending any more money so I choose not to fall in love with MindManager. However just skipping over the tutorials and doing a mind map very quickly it is really starting to become love at first site. I am sure you have all heard Tracy and Trevor talk about MindManager over at StudentTabletPC and I hope you got to see it in action in Tracy's Video she did not to long back. MindManager even got talked about in the Paperless Challenge so I FINALLY am able to see really what it's all about. Like I said making a map very quickly without even going into the tutorials the program is easy to pick up and I can only imagine the powerful tool that this program can become. I have a week where I don't have to worry about getting behind in classes or studying for any big exams so I can really sit down and spend some quality time with the program as I learn about it and hopefully can employ it in my every day life. I'll blog about it most of this week and hope to even post a MindMap of my own when its all said and done.

I was thinking about doing a clean install on my system over break since I saw on TabletPCBuzz there is an excellent tutorial on performing such a task and the results seem to be promising but I think I may just put that off since I really want to start playing with MindManager. More to come so stay tuned!

Oh yeah did I forget to mention its Spring Break!!! :)
