What do you actually use mind maps for?

Mind maps get talked about as a general thinking tool, but people seem to use them in very different ways.

Some people use them for planning.
Some use them for writing or research.
Some use them for studying.
Some use them for project breakdowns.
Some only use them when their thoughts feel too messy to organize any other way.
