I'm a scrum master trying to help a team with several performance issues. This is fantastic! I will be putting this into place as a team mind map today!
Thank you so much for sharing your excitement Daniel! It's awesome to hear you'll be putting this into action with your team today. Way to go! 😄
For some people, its so amazing to watch anyone who try to achieve their goals n when they succeed it Feels satisfying n for some people their goals are to help others achieve the goals.
I'm the latter :)
Thank you for sharing how you are going about your daily "to do."
Your lesson is on point, natural and effective.
This is AWESOME I created a 30 Day NO PROCRASTINATION plan for myself that I hope to turn into a course. This is the missing element I need to get it done in a quick easy way that I can share with others. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you
Wow, what an amazing use case. So happy this could be your 'missing piece'!
I always enjoy watching your videos; simple and to the point.
This is great! I especially like the idea of estimating the time and then summarizing it under each node. I'm excited to try this.
The best tutorial on how to organize your day on youtube
Thank you ❤️
Totally enjoying your mind map videos!
Literally so helpful! Thank you!
Thank you for this Sheng!
Great tips and ideas here Sheng!
Excellent video. I'm going to try this out.
Thank you for the valuable information.I believe this would make my tasks easy and planned
I never thought to combine these ideas together, this is so fascinating! I’m definitely going to try this out! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for watching Abby! Actually the real power of mind mapping is helping us combine various aspects of our experiences into new creations. We can all do it! You might enjoy this video :) ua-cam.com/video/FP8HBa7Lbyg/v-deo.html
This is solid!
Like it! Really useful Sheng
Being a software developer myself, I appreciate how you are implementing Agile methodology to daily life
Hahaha I'm glad someone appreciates it ;) Connected thinking is all it is my friend. You might like this video I made that goes into the meta benefits of mapping: ua-cam.com/video/FP8HBa7Lbyg/v-deo.html
you don't need to know about that methodology NAME to come up with these ideas. These are just essential life thinking processes if you actually spend some time thinking about organizing your thoughts, instead of going around matching thoughts with NAMEs, sounds pretty ridiculous.
@@dumyum2995 Agile methodology exists after tremendous amount of effort from software engineers to tackle real life problems they faced in the industry. And it keeps evolving even now. I said what I said because I see so many parallels to the methodology I use in my day to day work life, and because I APPRECIATE that the author has implemented something similar into daily life as well. Plus he appears to have worked in the tech industry so in that case he is quite familiar with it. My comment DOES not make him sound any less capable of thinking independently. If it does, then it was not my intention and I should have worded it more carefully. As far as you are concerned, there is no need to be upset that somebody put a name to it. Just enjoy organizing your thoughts and living the best life!
ohhh very usefull , thanks! and enjoy the video thank , thank
This is such a great idea. Thanks for the inside look!
You are so welcome!
This is so helpful! I want to start doing this for my personal and work to-do’s.

@ShengHuang Every Day!? Wow! Amazing! I know you dont miss a step! Im an overthinking creator...So many great ideas that flow everyday, i miss so many of them, and the ones i do get to write down, because I cant see the entire picture, Move for move already planned out, EVERYDAY...It causes mishaps smh I have poster boards in my office to help me see because i have a primarily visual memory. But nothing like this! Im Sick of Mishaps, the confusion, all the great ideas lost! I Love how you carry a notebook to mind map everywhere you go! I also love how you can use this for literally everything that comes to mind! and you use it to bring any idea to LIFE!!! I will watch and take notes on everything on this channel till i have achieved the mastery to do this...EVERYDAY! No More Mess, No More Stress...
Thanks @ShengHuang for sharing this viral knowledge, this literally is about to change the pace and productivity of my life!! watch!! lol
That was really helpful to me I'll definitely try it out good Luck 😊
Let me know how it goes!
@@ShengHuang it was truly wonderful to see the progress I made with the method. I applied the to-do mind map tutorial to my medical studies plans and other tasks, and the results were amazing. Thank you so much, I can't thank you enough. You are doing great thanks a lot for you care and attention to your followers . BEST OF LUCK 😊
oh good idea
Have you heard of Rocketbook notebooks? It bridges the gap between digital and analog writing/planning and it reusable. I noticed you using a frixion pen in a clip of one of your videos and that's the pen you use with a rocket book, so that's why I ask. Great video, I had never heard of mind mapping before.... I'm going to give it t go!
Fantastic. You deserve more views 🇧🇩❤️💐🌹
I really appreciate your kind words Zakia :)
Very interesting!
Glad you think so!
I really like this concept. Maybe its in another video, but where do you “Brain Dump” to keep a master list of all the things you need to do from which you choose what to do today?
Hey Sheng! I LOVE your videos- they’re no-joke life-saver! I’ve never been a mindmap fan before bcoz I hate charts! Lol And then when I watched your videos about mindmap a few months back- I realize I’ve been doing it since highschool. I also did some science-backed research about it and I just fell in love with mindmapping. In fact, I created my whole business bcoz of it and I created my own productivity framework and included mindmapping to it. Been using it for myself and my clients. So I just wanna say thanks so much for putting this highly valuable content here! Awesome job! 🙌 Followed you on IG as well.
Jesselle, thank you so much for your kind words! There's surprisingly few studies on mind mapping effectiveness yet it's such a powerful and effective tool. I'm hoping to use Mind Map Nation (once it's launched and grown a bit) to conduct more studies. I love that you take what works and create your frameworks out of it. It's what I do too for myself and in my coaching work.
@@ShengHuang please suggest sequence
This is very gooood
I'm glad it was helpful!
Here from a reddit comment after discovering mind mapping today. This was a great video. I hadn't thought about using it for my daily tasks. Struggling with adhd this is going to really help me !! Do you have any advice for people multitasking throughout the day? I home school my son during the day and am also a student. Taking care of the house and errands. So sometimes I feel all over the place.
You’re not all luv❤
I hate that no matter how much time i put to planning and simplifying things i still stressed and overworked with lots to do and worrying about how much work is. Left.. anyone know why thus happens? Also Am not Diagnosed for adhd
Sheng, What is the best way to study a book? For example a book of mathematics or engineering since we are talking about a lot of information and it is excruciating 😖
Nice video, I suppose this principle can be applied to project planning as well? The center node as the Epic and its child nodes as Stories,…etc .
💯 that’s exactly how’d you would map out for platforms like jira
I am a fan of mind-mapping, and this is a great application of this process. How do you handle tasks that you didn't get to? Do you simply recreate that portion on the following day, or do you simply just look back onto this page? Thanks.
Thrilled to see another fellow mind-mapping enthusiast! Regarding unfinished tasks, it's really flexible and boils down to personal / project needs. Often, I simply refer back to the previous map, adjusting priorities as necessary for the new day. This method ensures that no task is forgotten and allows for a dynamic approach to managing priorities. However, there's also the option to recreate that portion for the next day, especially if it helps maintain clarity and focus. Both strategies are effective; it often depends on the day's intended focus and priorities.
How do you "tick off" completed or postponed tasks?
This is very useful, thankyou. Just found your channel and subscribed right away. Curious to know what app you use to track youtube content plan, board view
Thank you for supporting the channel! I use Notion for content planning and strategizing. I have a video on Notion if you'd like to check it out.
@@ShengHuang so kind of you to respond. Will sure find it out and watch
I feel like I should be kinda ashamed that 70% of my reason for clicking on this video was because the host has a lovely face, only 30% to learn mind-mapping.
Do you always mantain. the areas or categories? thanks for helping!
To me, they are interchangeable. What matters is breaking them out into actionable tasks and knowing how those tasks add to the bigger picture.
This is interesting. Do you begin each day with this practice? How long does it take you to complete it? Thanks!
Yes I do! It takes me about 5 minutes to draw them out to prioritize my day. Might be longer when you first start but it's quick and simple :)
Hi! I always use Bullet Journal for planning my life - it requires a small notebook (passport size) to contain my future tasks, habits, etc. There is a question - could To-do Mind-Mapping be more effective than BuJo without changing size of notebook?
Bujo's are great! I personally carry around a Traveler's Notebook with a blank insert for mind maps. I did a review on the notebook a while back and will do a video soon on how to mind map in confined spaces. Both bujos and mind maps serve to externalize our thoughts so that we can free our mind for other perhaps more productive things. The main difference is that bujos are linear because bullets are inherently organized in a sequence vs mind maps which can span out any which way. I personally use mind maps because I'm a non-linear thinker who likes seeing the connections between things. Drawing my daily to-do's in mind map form is just another way of many I use them in my daily life, which means one blank notebook can serve many other purposes aside from just planning my day.
I had difficulty in understanding it but now I do !
An example :
The 2-week sprint method is basically 4 different groups :- 12345 ; 678910 11 ; abcde ; fghijkl
I have to do few from all in each day in such a way that i slowly progress all simultaneously and finish them all in the end at same time rather than juust choose 1 group for few days
What to do : O
Day 1 -----> 12 ; 6 ; abc ; fg
Day 2 -------> 345 ; 78 ; d ; h
Day 3 -------> Group 1 satisfied ; 9 ; e ; ij
Day 4 -------> Group 1 satisfied ; 10 ; Group 3 satisfied ; kl
Day 5 --------> Group 1 satisfied ; 11 ; Group 3 satisfied ; Group 4 satisfied
Day 6 ------> Group 1 satisfied ; Group 2 satisfied ; Group 3 satisfied ; Group 4 satisfied
Day 7 -------> Enjoy! You earned the break :)
What not to do : X
Day 1 ------> 12345
Day 2 ----> 678910 11 (This can exhaust you and not be an efficient way for you to do your tasks!)
Day 3 ------> abcde
Day 4 -----------> fghijkl
The amount of distribution of tasks can differ from person to person bc of how much time and effort they put in it and how fast and efficiently they do the task. Your day 1 can have 1234 ; 67 ; ab ; fghi if you are strong enough.
(P.S. - 12345 , 678910 11 , abcde , fghijkl are task groups with each alphabet / number in them being each task.
you should put goals on the different items... that way you can justify putting more time in or cutting and moving to the next one... where appropriate of course
Thank you for your suggestion about integrating goals into the different items on the mind map! It's indeed a great idea to have clear objectives for each element, which can help in prioritizing tasks and managing time more effectively. Your point about using this approach to justify the time spent on each task or deciding when to move on is particularly insightful.
Personally, I tend to document my tracked work in a spreadsheet, as I use the Pomodoro technique for time management. This method helps me keep a clear record of how much time I'm spending on each task and maintains my focus.
I appreciate you sharing this concept, and it's definitely something others can consider integrating into their own process! It could add an additional layer of clarity and purpose to the mind maps, making them even more useful as a productivity tool.
Thanks again for your input.
Which softwares do you use to create complicated mindmaps like this one on 00:30
iThoughtsX!
What tablet and software are you using to draw the mindmap?
When I’m hand drawing, I'm on my iPad and use Notability. And FYI for Digital use, iThoughtsX. For collaborating, MindMeister. Hope this helps! :)
new sub here man.. Iove the fact that your system is not too complicated and even though its simple this method can be extremely powerful
Appreciate it! Thanks, mate! Hope you can use these in your daily.
For people who read the book Mind Map Mastery by Tony Buzan (the one who discovered mind maps) would clearly say that this is not a mind map. You have just mixed up some concepts from mind map, some from spider diagrams and created your own.
Step 1: Brainstorm A Central Idea.
Step 2: Come Up With An Impressive Image.
Step 3: Color Your Map.
Step 4: Create Connections.
Step 5: Make Your Branches Curved.
Step 6: Use Single Key Words.
Step 7: Replace Words With Pictures.
Thanks for the summary! I'm aware. If we do not innovate on others' work, we will stay stagnate as a species. So each generation will add and build on the previous generation, take what they gave, master the fundamentals and continue to create and improve. That is progress my friend.
@@ShengHuang Yes. Then in that case its not a mind map anymore. Why use that name alone :)
Do you recommend doing these daily. I try to do a to do list before bed, I may do a to do mind map instead. Thank you for your help
Yes - I know som people who find it more helpful to do once a week. But for me, 'daily' is super powerful.
Do plan in the morning or the day before?
Hey Max, I usually do it at the start of my day. It's brief and gets me organized and prioritized. But nothing stops you from doing it the night before if it helps!
Doing this daily seems pretty heavy. I guess if stuff is changing very quickly then it makes sense, but wonder if every few days/week would suit me better.
Yes! I think a lot of people would agree. My wife is the same - she does a Mind Map 'To-Do' List of the week at large instead. She categorizes it more similarly to my 'Sprint' Maps. Here's the video on my 2-Week Sprints = ua-cam.com/video/LkZiTEmLVYk/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared
I really like your content and I've recommended it to some of my friends.
I have never made a video or anything like that but I think that the B-Rolls and transitions are just a waste of my time.
Could be just me though.
I really appreciate that Vinicius! Hahaha the Brolls are pretty time consuming but they do help tell the story for some folks ;) Thanks for the feedback though!
Is it more effective writing it, rather than typing in an app? You probably covered that question on the previous vids…
Excellent question Aldrich. I almost always hand draw my maps but it's split between an app like Notability (review here: ua-cam.com/video/l9Pqorb97CQ/v-deo.html) or in my notebook (I'll probably do a future on this). The only times that I type them out is when I need to share with colleagues who can't read my writing haha. An example is for product/app design: ua-cam.com/video/VnIGd7R5zIU/v-deo.html
Jesus is your free gift to heaven when you believe in his death, burial and resurrection you are immediately saved.
none of those are community. that is 'networking'. you aren't creating community. you aren't engaging with friends. that's all buisness. know what words mean.
