(Interesting: the fields were considered markup by our forum software and were removed from view. Here is my post again.)

Same here for the use of namesakes. In my MBA class notes I had ?fields? like [lecture title], [lecture notes], [questions] etc. and I could very quickly scan back and forth the various material in sequence. I even put all such ?fields? under the home entry, so I could go from there to wherever.

The ?permanent hoist? view is the essence of Brainstorm. If you don?t like it, then there?s no need to use Brainstorm. Another tool that forces you to focus in a similar way (also coming from DOS by the way) is Maxthink.

As for getting an overview of everything, the ?balloon view? is a simple way to do it, but what I usually do is write everything to the clipboard in tab-indented text (Ctrl+W) and paste to a mindmapping program or to TreeSheets.

Let us render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar?s. No tool is good at everything.
