Hello Jeff,
I have been a long time PhotoReader and have had great success with the program. I was introduced to Mindmapping through the course and practiced it until it became automatic. In the beginning the Mindmaps were really fancy and now they are a way to put the stream on paper as fast as it is coming through.
I have found that I need to have a goal or a "why" for Photoreading. It is pretty specific and then I quickly write down through a Mindmap the ideas and insights from the session on the piece of paper, usually there are action steps that come through also. I have a form that I created that works really well, let me know if you want me to send it to you.
