Hello Dear Readers,
This Saturday I decided to do charting. I had been contacting the support team at Google for a problem about my balance. I wanted to use my balance on Google Play to pay for a membership with Gliffy flow charts or Mindmeister Mind Maps. It turned out you need to pay for Gliffy only with a credit card. And Mindmaster could be bought with the Google Chrome store. The Google Play store was a different kettle of fish. I had put on $100.00 on Google play and I could not transfer it in any way to use for either of these mapping programs.
I must have been on the phone for five hours trying to figure out how to pay with the Google Play points. One hundred dollars is a lot of money and I had it budgeted for the mind mapping. I did not want to buy anything else, no matter how seductive. Anyways finally I realized they have a whole lot of gift cards you can buy with the points so the money will be used and on budget. Like I said,it took a while to figure out what to do.
and as I was figuring out my problem I got a good look at the hand made charts that are all over the Rose Gallery which is also my living space. the more I discussed the problem the seedy they looked. So Saturday I decided to devote my studio time to making attractive organigrammes to help my business strategy and decorate my office.
I tried Mindmeister Mind Mapping first. God knows, I had been on the site a hundred times the past week so everything was up to date concerning password etc. They have a pretty nice selection of templates and also a library of mind maps to look at for inspiration. My eye was caught by a German mind map, a company diagram in black, grey and yellow. I couldn't download it to use but they had a template with similar colors and in no time at all I had the template to start my mind map.
The first one would be about a Sales Funnel. The colors would be black, yellow and grey. These are not the color of my room but you are not supposed to match art with the room anyways (at least in terms of colors). Art should stand on its own. By the way, the colors of the Rose Room is of course, rose-pink and this year I added purple accents. I just got a lovely purple duvet cover with two matching pillows. All the furniture is polished wood of various shades and varieties.
The Sales Funnel mind map came together quite effortlessly. I had a Sales Funnel partly done with yellow post it notes so the starting information had been already written down. It was a pleasure to make the whole thing more attractive. I worked a lot on this on Saturday, then Sunday. I was going to take it to the printer on Monday but I saw there was a lot more stuff to add. I will wait until next week. On the other hand, maybe I will do a little work tomorrow. I had a good time doing the chart so why not sneak in a little work if possible. I don't know if I can because I have some homework for the Stella Orange course on creative writing.
