We love mind maps. They’re amazing for that first burst  of creativity — connecting ideas, finding patterns, seeing the big picture. But let’s be honest: mind maps don’t live well . They’re great for sessions , terrible for systems . After a brainstorming session, they usually die in some .mm or .png file, never updated again. Because day-to-day work, real execution, happens elsewhere: task managers, notes apps, docs, spreadsheets. Your structure and your work get separated.
