Over the weekend I spent a couple hours researching Mind Mapping software for Windows, iPad and Android. I found a number of free programs to experiment with.
Basically, you can freely organize your thoughts on a project, a book, your To Do list and other type of information.
Starting with MindScape on iOS, users are able to add a topic then tap on it to pull up an empty page to fill out more details on that topic or add any number of subtopics. Resizing and moving around the topics is very easy.

On Windows, FreePlane allows for much more customization of items on a Mind Map and exporting to different programs.
The bigger question is "how many of us think in these terms and really like the visual style of these lists?" I tried a couple of applications on Android also, but, the bubbles or topics were very small and can quickly use up more than one screen so you have to scroll around to see the main map page.
For applications that support multiple platforms try one of the following:
XMind or Mind Meister. These will give you demos to let you see if Mind Mapping software is beneficial to you.
If not, there's always a lot of ToDo list programs from simple to powerful like
