Annular maps

Annular maps are useful when maintaining a strong focus on the central subject while breaking it down into components.

Subsidiary concepts are arranged as sectors of concentric rings around the center.

The earliest instance of this type (2003) appears to be UNO Universal Organizer, which I came across at the website of Metropolitan State University, St.Paul Minneapolis. According to its author, its origin was as a way of organizing a paper. This is a template for purely handwritten use.

Subsequently, software has appeared that adopts a similar way of organizing thoughts and goals. Crystal Mapping and Goalscape are two that follow this model.
