Plectica

I believe Plectica is not only software to show ideas, but to build thoughts

I dabbled with Plectica for about a month. I didn't really know what to do with it. Then I found Derek Cabrera's YouTube videos. A light bulb switched on. My new first step in organizing thoughts is too load Plectica and start a map.

I have created a few maps- one I used in particular to teach a bunch of school students, mapped the events and perspectives of different be jurors in the film '12 angry men'. This was a session on 'thinking and biases'

I have been using Plectica for almost 10 months now and it has changed the way I take notes and organize thoughts in a daily basis.

I’ve been using Plectica for about 10 months now and have become a bit of an evangelist for the product amongst my peers.

I can work on one part of a project and see it from the perspective of the entire work flow. Maps can be super simple and incredibly complex. Also I love that maps can be shared.

I have created a lot of maps, and I love the way the system enables me to refine my thinking.

When we suggest the need to “think about it” we often assume what that means as a purely in-the-head exercise. What I find Plectica really useful for is getting what’s in my head on a canvas that allows me to more deliberate and “thoughtful” about all the factors and elements in play — and how best to explain them for a given purpose. Anytime I see a canvas or graphical heuristic, I think of how easy it would be capture in Plectica. As a tool to support analysis, planning and knowledge management, Plectica is charting new territory. Bravo team — keep up the great work!!

I use Plectica every day for my job and studies, it has helped me retain more information more easily, and to be able to share knowledge with my colleagues. I'd definitely recommend trying Plectica, once you've created one map, you'll be hooked and start seeing maps in all you read or learn!
