[QUOTE=shalym;3744575]I'm curious as to why people prefer mind mapping over outlining? For me, I just have a very hard time mind mapping, where outlining flows easily.

An outline is also easier for me to use as a study tool--when I look at mind maps, they just seem like a jumble to me, and I have a hard time sorting them.

I have no problems sorting mind maps out. Sometimes I do not allow enough room for an area of interest and have to squash things in. When this happens I redraw the mind map with better spacing. This does not happen very often.

On reflecting about the contents of the MM I can add in links, comments and info that would be awkward to incorporate into an existing outline.

But it is horses for courses. Use what suits you.
