Merry X-mas & Happy New Year to everyone!

The 10 minutes Energy drink!

First there was the Caffeine's replacement brainwave.
Now, after your votes here, I created a brand new brainwave for Energy and Motivation.

BEFORE you download and use this brainwave you HAVE to:

1. Read the introduction to brainwaves and brain entrainment here
2. Understand and accept the following WARNINGs!
   The following people should NOT use brain entrainment:
   > People subject to any forms of seizures or epilepsy
   > People using pacemakers
   > People suffering from cardiac arrhythmia or other heart disorders
   > People taking stimulants, psychoactive drugs, or tranquilizers
3. Read the following tips to enjoy this brainwave listening:
   a. It is important to listen to it, using stereo headphones
   b. Don't activate music-looping on your media player or your MP3 player.
   c. Adjust the volume to a comfortable level
   d. To use this session, find a quiet place. Make sure you are in a comfortable position.
   e. After starting the session, close your eyes and listen to the sound.
   Optionally, you can keep your eyes open and use this as a "background" while doing your activities.
   f. If you are using this session for motivational purposes, it could be beneficial to visualize your goals while the session is playing.
4. Don't keep it on too long, however, since too much energy can be a bad thing.

So, after all these info, you can download from here the 10 minutes duration brainwave file that I called "The Brain's Energy Drink" because of its feature to keep you in an energizing state giving you a strong energetic boost.
[the file is in WAV format because the MP3 compression kills some sound frequencies]
Use this session when you really need a boost of energy.

Are you ready now to feel the energy in your ...ears?

Students, boost your performance!

Before months -after the huge success of my first brainwave- I had promised to create another one, and now the time just came!

The first sound [Brainwave] file that can improve your Studding performance is here!
[a WAV file into a compressed RAR file [175.3Mb], about 25' long]
THANX SENDSPACE.COM FOR THE FILE HOSTING

To use this session, simply find a quiet place to study and listen to this.
This brainwave file is ideal to use while performing complex studding tasks [for example studding for exams...]
It helps focus the mind while reducing anxiety and frustration.
Because this session presents separate stimulation to each brain hemisphere, headphones are required. It is important to make sure that you are use your headphones correctly: with the right side on your right ear, and left side on your left ear.
You may want to set your sound player to LOOP as well till you will finish your study session.
Also it is very important that you adjust the volume settings until you are 100% comfortable with the sound before starting.

Brainwave Entrainment's usefulness is not limited to relaxation and enhancing academic performance. It can also be used for reducing headaches, insomnia, stress and even enhancing athletic performance.

For more info about Brainwaves Entrainment please take a look on my previous post here.

Are you ready to boost your studding performance starting from your ...ears?


WARNING!
The following people should not use brain entrainment:
> People subject to any forms of seizures or epilepsy
> People using pacemakers
> People suffering from cardiac arrhythmia or other heart disorders
> People taking stimulants, psychoactive drugs, or tranquilizers

Our mind's best friend!

My beloved everyday-tool goes 7!
I'm talking about the application that gave to my life [personal & professional] the amazing "flavor" of creativity and differantiation. I'm talking about MindManager.
If you are unfamiliar with the Mind Maps term take a look here.
If you have created a MindMap even for one time, I'm sure that you know MindManager.

I had the opportunity to test the latest beta and I have to admit that I'm so excited and I can't wait for the final version! [May 30]



The new version goes mindmapping another step forward:

Ribbon UI
MindManager Pro 7 uses the new Microsoft Ribbon UI to create a streamlined, uncluttered workspace!

Integrate MM7 within Microsoft Applications
Link to topics from external applications. (i.e. Launch maps from Word docs.)

Central Topic
The Parent Topics are hidden and the new central topic becomes the (Central Topic) and the hierarchy starts from what was formerly the Subtopic.

Topic Styles
Allows creation of named topic styles and using these styles across current map regardless of the level at which topics are located.

Split topic
Create new topic based on text sub-selected in topic editor

Highlight Multiple Topics
Shift + Mouse click selects multiple topics for quick multi-formating

Saved Queries
Allows saving queries in Power Filter/Select/Bookmark dialogs and re-using these queries later.

Saved Views
Saves current view (filtered topics, collapsed topics, zoom factors) and allows reusing these views later.

Multiple Markers within Topics
Option to add more than one marker giving you flexible marking

Add Multiple Attachment to Map
Use multi select in file browse dialog to add multiple attachments to a topic

Advanced Sorting
Implemented sort options for icon marker groups and color marker groups. Allow reverse sorting of text marker groups. Available via markers group context menu, but not available for priority and task complete groups.

The improvements are not stopping here, moving the new MM version to a new very promising level.

It's time for all of you to come to MindMaps amazing world ;-)
