Being well organized is a necessity, especially for our dear mothers who, between cleaning, cooking, children and... everything else, have a hard time managing everything well.
The technique of mind mapping, I discovered it at university. It is a very practical organizational tool that has become essential in all large companies (Ex:Mindomo). Since I started, I can't stop, the es Mindmap are also very useful to me on a daily basis to take the time to reflect and organize my daily life.
To try to be clear:it's a visual method which allows me to better structure my ideas in order to save time in repetitive tasks , not to forget anything, not to waste my energy and above all... to have clearer ideas!
mindmapping allows me to organize my daily life around a central topic. In business jargon, this is called:organizational intelligence.
mindmapping is the art of shaping the associations of ideas . In the center, I write my subject , the title of my file, my main theme. Using ramifications, I decline this subject into several themes , chapters or steps .
Then I associate to each of my chapters my possible sub-parts which will contain for example an explanatory note, a simple list , Action plan. It is this part that will be most useful to us in case of need.
For the household , I have several mindmaps:one that lists household chores according to frequency:daily, weekly, monthly... One that lists the recipes for my natural cleaning products according to each household chore; or one that details the daily household steps hour by hour.
For the kitchen , for example, I have a mindmap of possible recipes depending on ingredients or leftovers available (practical when there is not much left in the fridge); a mindmap of foods to buy every week, every month, every year...
I also have travel mindmaps such as an inventory sorted by type:clothes, pharmacy, toiletry bag, paperwork, etc. In short, everything is possible because everything is question of organization :my daughter's wedding, planning of family members, essential oil to apply for such ailments, gift ideas for people, mindmap of things to remember about friends...
From experience, I have noticed several benefits . Already, I feel much more reassured and peaceful . Everything is clear and tidy in my little head and I no longer feel like I'm running around and getting scattered.
In addition, the visual method of this tool promotes memorization . In fact, organizing my ideas clearly and in a structured way already helps me run less and not forget anything. I often add colors and symbols to make my worksheets more fun , stimulating and lively.
Finally, mindmapping is a real work of personal development , which helps me to know myself better, which promotes well-being and which reconnects me with an esteem that we lose when we are overwhelmed and feel like we are missing out.
BE CAREFUL, when you start mindmapping , we quickly become addicted to it. Don't waste your time creating thousands of records either! Go straight to the point.

Mindmapping mainly allows saving time . Once the form is created, everything goes faster to repeat the task. It is also an effective therapy to save energy and therefore his well-being.
Financially, let's be clear. Time is money. I no longer forget to pay my administrative costs and I avoid surcharges. I have the right reflexes in the event of small problems and I therefore prevent the problem from getting worse and causing repair costs, for example.
