FreeMind is a premier free mind-mapping software written in Java. Actually a mind map is a diagram used to represent words, ideas, tasks or other items linked to and arranged radially around a central key word or idea. It is used to generate, visualize, structure and classify ideas, and as an aid in study, organization, problem solving, and decision making. Mind-Mapping gets rid off :

Energy and time wasted writing down superfluous words.
Other information may be missed while noting down one idea.
Take longer to read and review.
Associations and connections between key words and ideas not readily apparent.
Attention wanders easily.
Lack of color and other visual qualities handicap memory.
Traditional notes aid forgetting not memory.

Helps in :

Notes (Organizing notes the way mind assimilates, helps in remembering process quite trivial)
Recalling (Easy retrieval of information in an organized manner for a efficient way of reviewing)
Creativity (Liberates the mind in thinking unconventionally, whereby, the inefficiencies of linear thinking process is overcomed)
Problem Solving (Provides a view from all dimensions for a particular issue viz. professional or personal and thus analyzing in a much better fashion)
Planning (Helps in planning & organizing information from writing a business letter to a book)
Presentations (Mapping coherent ideas in visual form)
