MindManager 9 feels a bit faster and claims to open maps significantly faster, so I timed how fast it took to refresh my daily action dashboard compared with MindManager 8.2. MindManager 9.1 took 3:45 while MIndManager 8.2 took only 3:15.

Reviewing my ResultsManager review dashboard this morning I found just a couple of projects related to my “blog” area and a long list of someday/maybes. I thought it might be useful to solicit reader guidance on where it would be most valuable for you to focus. Basically I’m wondering whether to focus on discussing, enhancing, […]
