Vertical vs horizontal organizers

John Perry must be top-down thinker, like I am.

Being able to glimpse through all my notes (see the big picture and their possible relations) while still working on one of them is the main reason why I like Scapple over other mind-mapping applications.

The horizontal organization gives a lot of sense. It doesn’t hide information; there is nothing hidden or buried inside a cabinet that could potentially bugs your mind. You don’t miss the big picture when focusing on the microscopic. That is the kind of organization I would also like to have. I call myself “top down” thinker because my brain doesn’t function well unless I have the big picture first.
