If you have a long-term goal, there are various ways and means that you can attempt to reach this goal. There are always going to be obstacles along the way, hazards and tasks that you need to achieve and tick-off. You could create various notes, but then over time, you might find that your notes are rather scrappy in nature and certainly difficult to understand. You could re-write them again from scratch, but that can take time. The other alternative is project management software, but that's not always appropriate for mapping out your goals, thoughts and plans.

Freemind 0.8.0 is free and opensource mind mapping software designed to enable you to track and plan your thoughts and ideas in a digital format. You can easily link plans and thoughts together, see how they interact and even move around your ideas if you find that they interlink with other goals.
