## Introduction
This video looks at how to create a mind map in Obsidian using the [Nextgen Mind Map plugin](https://github.com/james-tindal/obsidian-mindmap-nextgen) originally by [James Lynch](https://github.com/lynchjames) and now carried forward by [James Tindal](https://github.com/james-tindal).
In the video we create a mind map based on a note, and show how the mind map is generated as you add headings and subheadings and list items.
The first title creates the central mind map node. And you can see how it creates additional mind map nodes as we create more headings and bullet list items.
The example used In the video is based on a video plan previously created in a paper mind map and in SimpleMind. We just go through structuring it into an obsidian mind map.
Once your mind map is done in Obsidian, you can then copy it as a screenshot. You then have a mind map and an Obsidian document with all the required headings.

This is the mind map in Simplemind that we convert to an obsidian mind map.
