FreeMind is a premier free mind-mapping software written in Java. The
recent development has hopefully turned it into high productivity tool.
So you want to write a completely new metaphysics? Why don't you use
FreeMind? You have a tool at hand that remarkably resembles the tray
slips of Robert Pirsig, described in his sequel to Zen and the Art of
Motorcycle Maintenance called Lila. Do you want to refactor your essays
in a similar way you would refactor software? Or do you want to keep
personal knowledge base, which is easy to manage? Why don't you try
FreeMind? Do you want to prioritize, know where you are, where you've
been and where you are heading, as Stephen Covey would advise you? Have
you tried FreeMind to keep track of all the things that are needed for
that?
