Mind Mapping as an archiving tool
I also use and love Freemind. I find that the software approach is best for brainstorming and getting things out of my head quickly.
I use a paper based mind map for recording outlines of ideas or books. I usually re-write them a few times until they include all the concepts in the layout I want. I usually put more time into these, using color and pictures. They end up being an incredibly useful tool for remembering sets of information.
