Decorating My Map Central

While on the MindJet Blog I noticed I was tagged, but a post about looking at the same map style all the time also captured my interest. This is because I make a point of placing some extra time on the design of my more important maps. For example, I look at my Map Central map every single day and often many times a day so to make the experience more pleasing I tend to inject some fun and color into it. This promotes healthy emotions that subconsciously allow me to enjoy the overall review process. Since I like to look at the map ,I tend to look at it more often, which allows me to review my key activities and stay on task throughout the day.

I also find adding images to my maps whenever I can stimulates a stronger personal connection with the map that allows me to gain more value from it. As a visual leaner these images enhance the overall visual representation of the information and makes my maps even more powerful.

So what does my Map Central look like now? Well it's a Christmas that has been present since Thanksgiving and will probably remain until the new year. When 2007 hits I'll be busy designing something new that will be sure to entertain my eyes every time I open MindManager.
