Reflection – Mind Mapping 

 Challenge- 

 As a student who has recently enrolled in a full - time MBA program , the biggest challenge that   lay ahead of me was to hone my skillset to the fullest , and pursue as many events , competitions   & certifications that I could to make myself a lucrative candidate for potential recruiters . Since   the placement process begins just a few months into the MBA program , I had to be proactive   and on my toes , while being as precise and structured as possible to develop a rich CV in the   desired amount of time . Thus , I had to come up with a concise plan to achieve my goal   completely and in time . 

 Selection- 

 I needed to structure the entire process and map out each activity by the day and group them   in categories . Hence , mind mapping seemed like the most suitable choice to me since it would   be the best tool to organise and plan effectively . 

 Application- 

 After deciding to apply mind mapping tool to solve this challenge , I had to first start thinking   about the various categories that I need to work on . I began by brainstorming about all the   possible areas I could enhance my skillset in . Since I had to work on my college CV , I listed down   the following areas – academics , sports , extra - curricular , internships and projects . Using mind   mapping , I placed a box in the middle with my name in it , and placed all the above - mentioned   areas around it , forming a mind map . Now , I started attending to all the areas , one by one .   Starting with academics , I thought about the possibilities in this category and after thinking ,   came up with the following – certifications , workshops , online events & quizzes . I then drew an   extension of the academics category and listed all the mentioned possibilities in it . Coming to   sports , I realised I could gather all my certificates and achievements in sports and present them   in an appealing way . This , I put as an extension to the sports category . For extra - curricular , I   decided to present my literary and dramatics achievements and I put them as an extension to   the extra - curricular category . Similarly , for internships & projects , I decided to present my   already completed internships & projects , while also searching for other feasible opportunities   which could be pursued in the stipulated time . I put this in the internships & projects extension   area . 

 Now , I had covered all the possible categories and elaborated each of them . I now knew what I   could do , what were the sources and how I could achieve and present the decided activities and   events . My plan had become much clearer , structured , and attainable because of mind   mapping and planning . 

 Insights & Approach- 

 Using this extremely useful tool of mind mapping , I could achieve all my targets in the desired   amount of time , covering all the aspects in a structured way and could achieve the contention   of having done something to the best of my abilities to achieve a certain goal . This approach   helped me achieve a desired result , while sparing me the anxiousness and worry if I had had a   ‘ winging - it ’ approach . 

 The next time I am faced with a similar challenge , I will most certainly apply the mind mapping   tool again . It is the most effective way to handle a situation wherein you are expected to cover   multiple areas effectively and productively in a short span of time . However , the next time I am   faced with such a situation , I will dive deeper with my mind mapping , and be more precise so   that not even a shred of doubt or ambiguity is left . 

 I thoroughly enjoyed this activity and am extremely glad that I had the opportunity to have a   real - life application of something so useful !
