I fall in the realm of either or both ADD/ADHD and brain injury. I got accepted to graduate school and want to give myself the best possible chances... opportunities to succeed.

I was reading threads posted awhile back... and remembered someone mentioning something about some "Mind Mapping" software. Could I get some input and ideas from people in what helps them?

In addition, I was told about some calender program where I could color scheme things, etc.

I figure, I will finally utilize my calendar at work and have it send me reminders of when things are due, in addition to deadline dates for scholarships, etc.

Thanks for all your input.

I find that mind mapping works for me as well.

Look up
"Mind Mapping by Stephen Pierce" on youtube.com


:cool:

mind mapping is fantastic.

I discovered mindmapping a couple of years ago and secretly used it prior to being diagnosed because I knew I would keep forgetting ****.

It's WAY easier (for me at least) to do Mindmaps on the computer because I just constantly brainstorm. Using software you can get ideas and concepts and drag 'em round. On the PC or Mac I can recommend Mindjet MindManager (http://www.mindjet.com). It's awesome but I only use it because my work has a corporate license. Prior to that I was using Freemind (http://freemind.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page) which is just as good if not better since it's free and it's available on Mac and PC too.

More info on Mind mapping (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mind_mapping)

Hope that info helps someone

Thank you for the information!!!
