Jerry Michalski - Read My Thoughts: How to Use Mind-Mapping Tool "The Brain" To Get Smarter - at Civic Hall NYC on Sep 9 2015

For the last seventeen years, Jerry Michalski has been taking notes on things worth remembering and putting them into an app called The Brain. People, ideas, events, articles and how they're related; he's put more than 250,000 "thoughts" into the tool, connected by more than 440,000 links.

The result is more than one person's life diary or list of favorite bookmarks. It's also a fantastic, searchable resource that anyone can tap into, either for free at JerrysBrain.com or via a 99 cent mobile app. Even better, because Jerry has long been at the heart of the tech scene (he was the managing editor of Release 1.0, Esther Dyson's invaluable newsletter, for many years, before starting his own consulting work), his brain is full of deep connections of value to everyone concerned with civic innovation.

At this interactive session, hosted by Micah Sifry (also a user of The Brain), Jerry shares the process he uses to keep adding to his brain, and offer tips on how you can use mind-mapping tools like The Brain to better organize your thoughts and keep track of what is important to you.

first let me tell you this

see what it looks like I was there

should let the whole bunch of capital

moments of brilliance of this when you
put something has to go above or below

that will happen something big so I got
most of my brain under four different

because if that mapping race already
breaking out the visual analysis

etcetera etcetera

number one the biggest thing which means
but now I can go out the porch and I

could see what that was about anonymous
Thursday to do it for online community

as well about bottle of the session with
Japanese culture so you can also write

up a little bit like that is really easy
because they have all the books for

better or worse so you told him that
gary is a book that you can buy a home

or in the soviet million more
independent who are young people who

later into your hot dogs and their homes
their leaders here and there and in fact

is a gentleman and sort of look at this
time we want the gentleman who started

the movement of a suicide so yeah

assumption that the state could also
help make sense of this is a property at

a local structure background in the way
here just got here

website

alright so I thought I would check that
box didn't want nobody else will see it

be so

but what we saw this conference which
was 40 these people exactly roses who

actually do that here so we're right so
far so good for example 2005 forms

go to Avatar

Roberts its weird roll with the punches
before adding I just don't see that as a

service relationships along with his
book to find out in our whole brain

yeah ok

everywhere for that do whatever you do
whatever but not as much as a political

rally for transforming temples are
usually late to the site

this is from the presidency by the way
which is a real relationships are two

rivers and physical self Rihanna on
learning which is from the model which

is under way down

put anything so companies have worried

products they sell and then other
venture funding which movie was based on

all the above them

there is another accessory or more time
with their hot but it's not really help

here by I did recall things that normal
conversation without seems really good

because I just want to make one point
about why they wouldn't get this is like

those used to things which are louder
over constitute like this is just the

right route or outsider art exactly hard
artists including a result he hears the

result is a book about him architect of
my criticism or

learning everything because it's based
on Facebook everybody blow to general so

and that's good enough to hold off a
week so my beliefs which is a pretty big

but this is what police and other people
believe people are born back nature

fallen soul and you know that bad that
used to build up

how to make model ships and put it in my
body back to hear a really hot topic

right now is this like you know where he
work at home

I can go back here

great article about whatever

here

because I was so every time

about the people and by the time I got
to number nine was like here
