Here are my top 3 special ways to use Adobe Illustrator: 1) YEAR PLANNING: I plan my whole year (or even two years) in Adobe Illustrator. 2019 YEAR VECTOR CALENDAR I use in this video: http://tinyurl.com/yd2clpxz As a visual person, I love to have the ability to see my whole year and to be able to segment time periods and see multiple events overlapping so that I can adjust them better. So I use Adobe Illustrator for a year planning every December.

In this video, I show how to create a mind map in Adobe Illustrator. 3) PRESENTATIONS and LESSONS: I use Adobe Illustrator to create slides and visual aids for my Youtube videos and online course lessons.
