Mindmaps ARE trees!

Mind maps are a useful tool to organize thoughts, options, and ideas - Wikipedia.mindmap
The idea is to draw a circle with the central idea, and multiple spokes as the sub ideas, and continuie (see picture above).  My not surprising observation is that mind-maps are simply trees. So if you don't need the spatial fairness (there is no first element, last element, etc), a simple equivalent is the layers bulletpoint:
Idea
- sub idea 1
- -  sub sub idea 1.1
- sub idea 2

The beauty of this observation is that is lets you 'draw' mind maps in email, or on a text editor, without fancy graphical tools.
