Holiday reflections

@jaslar,
Many thanks for sharing your thoughts!

My big shift this year was going from OneNote back to TheBrain. It wasn’t a decision against OneNote because I consider it as one of best apps within the MS Office suite including many good ideas and approaches. But I am more visually oriented to grasp the context of an entry so TheBrain is my perfect tool. I am a long-term TheBrain user and have been using it for 16 years now. Another important feature for me is that I can use it on OSX and Windows 7/8.+ and sync it over the cloud.
The second shift was going back to MindManager after trying several other MindMapping apps, including browser-based version. But the same applies here: I am used to it and I am still more an old-fashioned desktop nerd and not a all-the-time-being-online-geek (yet).

Even I still prefer the use of desktop software than rowser-based apps, I will use more online apps like Google Docs and Workflowy in 2015. Accessibility and collaboration are the reasons for this step as I am more and more involved in projects including people living and working in different places.

Happy outlining to you all in 2014 and 2015!

Best,
Dominik
