I&amp;#x27;ll certainly evaluate it for my next book or documentation project.</text></comment>

I used to use FreeMind [0], a great open-source mind mapping tool. I noticed that I&amp;#x27;d translate from the mind map to my to do list by using indents to represent ownership of tree sub-nodes instead of the drawn lines... and I eventually just went with outlines in my to do list. I&amp;#x27;ll still sketch on paper with nodes and lines, but the indenting hierarchy works so well for me that I never fire up FreeMind. Of course, Python made sense to me too.&lt;p&gt;[0] &lt;a href=&quot;http:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;freemind.sourceforge.net&amp;#x2F;wiki&amp;#x2F;index.php&amp;#x2F;Main_Page&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;freemind.sourceforge.net&amp;#x2F;wiki&amp;#x2F;index.php&amp;#x2F;Main_Page&lt;/a&gt;</text></comment>
