Turn notes about yourself into a mind map you can edit
Upload notes or a PDF about yourself and get an editable mind map with branches you can explore, rearrange, and reuse.
What a personal mind map should show
A mind map example about myself usually puts your name in the center and splits into a few branches such as interests, strengths, goals, and values. Seeing one laid out helps you decide what belongs on your own map before you start writing.
- Your name or a short phrase at the center
- Four to six main branches, such as interests, strengths, goals, and values
- Two to four short sub-points under each branch
- Concrete words and phrases instead of full sentences
Editable branches
Rename, move, or delete any node so the map matches how you actually think about yourself.
Explorable layout
Expand and collapse branches to focus on one part of your map at a time.
Built from your notes
Start from a PDF, DOCX, or photo of printed pages instead of a blank canvas.
