I think the problem with general notetaking is, you take note and you'll almost forget about it completely in a couple of day.

This style of notetaking software help 'resurface' those information you even forgot you jot down long time ago and make the process of 'discover' new idea much easier, something like that.

Well, I mean it behave like our mind, just more tangible, in software form. Also, people forgot much more nowadays because of information overload...maybe that's why some people need to transcribe it into something and relieve their brain's load.

Be careful. It's unlikely that you remembered what happened during your second day in university without me bumping your neurons a bit.

What I am saying is, that often we need an access trigger first even if the memory is technically there. Mindmapping is a way to rewalk the thoughts you once had and reenter a specific state of memory and mind.

Even I don't get the idea of mind mapping. Just a gimmick for the productivity nerds imo.
