Time is running out to participate in the contest Chuck Frey is running on his Mind Mapping Software Blog in conjunction with Mindjet, the developer of MindManager.

Chuck invites you to share your stories about how you’re using mind maps to help you do more with less during these tough economic times. Choose from 2 scenarios:

• Those of you who are still working, are managing additional challenges in your job as a result of the recession, and are using mind maps to help you work through them.
• Those of you who have been laid off from your jobs as a result of the recession and are using mind maps to either aid you in your job search, start a new business or figure out your next steps in your career.

How to enter
Anyone who submits a story (100 words or so) will be entered in a drawing to win one of 6 free copies of the terrific new MindManager 8 for Windows - a $349 value! Just think of it: For an investment of only a few minutes, you have the opportunity to upgrade to one of the top mind mapping programs on the market today. There aren’t that many entries in the contest yet, so your odds of winning are actually pretty good!

Please visit Chuck’s blog to post your story in the comments section of his blog. Be sure to include your e-mail address, so I can enter your name into the drawing - otherwise, Chuck won’t know how to contact you!

Deadline
The deadline for submissions is Friday, January 23, 2009.

Your comment must be posted by this date in order for your name to be included in the drawing for the licensed copies of MindManager 8.

I look forward to reading your mind mapping in the recession story on my blog!
