Join Curt Frye for an in-depth discussion in this video Creating and positioning floating topics, part of MindManager 2016 for Windows Essential Training.
- Creating mind maps is a terrific exercise.…Not only do you record existing ideas about a subject,…you will usually find yourself thinking of ideas…you didn't plan to add to the map.…If you do think of an idea that seems to fit with your map,…but doesn't relate to any of the existing concepts,…you can create what's called a floating topic.…A floating topic isn't connected to any other…topics on the map, yet, but you can record your…thought and use it as the basis for future…exploration of your central theme.…In this movie, I will show you…how to create a floating topic.…
My sample file is the floating.mmap file…which you can find in the Chapter02 folder…of the exercise files collection.…This file contains a simple map about the Piccadilly Room,…which is the subject of an ongoing refreshment…or refurbishing project for a particular hotel.…And, what I'd like to do is to be able to record…an idea that isn't directly related to the Piccadilly Room.…In other words, it could be something about…the hotel in general.…
