Use cases
About
The Projects mind map template visualizes a Nozbe task management system as an Xmind mind map, covering 5 project areas (Christmas preparations, Inbox, Learn Java, Blog writing, Training) with 27 nodes. It demonstrates how to organize actions with features like 'Time-tracking', 'starred' next actions, and context icons. This Projects template serves as a cheat sheet for migrating GTD-style workflows into Xmind, using concrete examples such as 'Install Eclipse' and 'Article about dogs'. The layout uses a central root with color-coded branches for each project, making it easy to scan priorities and next steps at a glance.
