Mind Map Tool 

 ➢ Challenge & Selection 

 The Mind Map shows the " shape " of the subject , the relative importance of   individual points , and the ways in which facts relate to one another . Research   shows that this is of particular benefit when dealing with complex information ,   such as during business planning and strategy development . 

 Mind Maps are more compact than conventional notes , and often take up just one   side of paper . This helps you to make associations and to generate new ideas . You   can also add new information easily , even to a Mind Map that you 've already   drawn . 

 Mind Mapping can also help you to break down large projects or topics into   manageable chunks , so that you can plan effectively without getting overwhelmed   and without forgetting something important . 

 ➢ Application 

 Mind Maps are useful for , Brainstorming ( individually , and as a group ) ,   summarizing information , taking notes , consolidating information from different   sources , thinking through complex problems , presenting information clearly ,   studying and memorizing information . 

 Mind Maps are also good for refreshing information in your mind . When you   commit the shape and structure of a Mind Map to memory , you can often get the   cues you need to remember the information it contains just by glancing quickly at   the Map . Studies have shown that this makes them highly valuable when you 're   learning a language , for example . We can really get inventive with Mind Maps , so   they are great for boosting creativity , too . When we include colors , images or   drawings , they can even resemble a work of art . 

 ➢ Insight & Approach 

 What I have learned from conducting this exercise with several groups is that   Mind mapping is a simple , visual way to organize your ideas for better clarity and   recall . Mind maps focus on only one central concept or idea and are based on   radial hierarchies and tree structures . All that in 5 steps : 

 • Create a Central Idea 

 The central idea is the starting point of your Mind Map and represents the topic   you are going to explore . 

 This should be in the center of your page and can include an image or colour that   fits with your Mind Map ’s topic . This draws attention and triggers associations , as   our brains respond better to visual stimuli . 

 Taking the time to personalize your central idea , whether it ’s hand - drawn or made   digitally , will strengthen the connection you have with the content in your Mind   Map . 

 • Add branches to your map 

 The next step to get your creative juices flowing is to add branches . The main   branches which flow from the central image are the key themes . You can explore   each of the themes in greater depth by adding child branches . 

 The beauty of a Mind Map is that you can keep adding new branches and you ’re   not restricted to just a few options . Remember , the way your Mind Map spans out   will come naturally as you add more ideas and your brain freely draws new   associations from the different concepts . 

 • Add keywords 

 When you add a branch to your Mind Map , you will need to include a key idea . Try   to keep this idea as brief as possible ; this will allow you to spark off a greater   number of associations , compared to longer more complex phrase . 

 • Color code your branches 

 Mind Mapping encourages whole brain thinking as it brings together a wide range   of cortical skills from logical and numerical , to creative and special . 

 The overlap of such skills makes your brain more synergetic and maintains its   optimal working level . Keeping these cortical skills isolated from one another does   not help brain development , which a Mind Map seeks to do . 

 One example of whole brain thinking is color coding your Mind Maps . Color coding   links the visual with the logical and helps your brain to create mental shortcuts . It   allows you to categorize , highlight , analyze information and identify more   connections which would not have previously been discovered . 

 • Include visual signifiers 

 Do n’t forget to add images and other visual elements to your Mind Map as images   have the power to convey much more information than a word , sentence or even   an essay . 

 Why is this important ? Images are processed instantly by the brain and act as   visual stimuli to recall information . They are also a universal language that can   overcome any language barrier .
