Reflection - Mind mapping 

 Challenge and Selection 

 Mind mapping is a tool that I use all the time . I am a designer and the mind mapping is a step I   do in the start of any project . While dealing with clients , I make sure to understand all the things   and aspects they want me to keep in mind . Mind mapping is a great tool for that . I write down   the core word and start listing down everything that reminds me from that word around it . This   helps me not only understand the basics , but dig deeper . This helps he client even visualize   what their thoughts are . Sometimes , methods like storytelling can also play a big role while mind   mapping . I present to them my thoughts and understanding of the project , take their feedback to   ascertain their goals . This helps me get a better understanding of their interests and thought   processes . I then use this information to develop different strategies to tackle the project and   find a way that works best for the client . 

 Application 

 The process of mind mapping helps me understand the topic , the topics related to it , what it   means , who the stakeholder and beneficiaries are etc . I will write the main task in the middle of   the page in a circle and start noting down the things related to it around it by making arrows .   Mind mapping is an engaging alternative to that giant report we might otherwise have written to   sum up and communicate in prose and charts and spreadsheets . As the process go on , I record   the commonalities and the differences . Mind mapping really helps during a design process . By   having all your thoughts down on a paper in front of you helps get a clear picture . It is a   representation of my mind 

 Insight and Approach 

 I have used this approach individually as well as while working with a group or client . What I   have learnt from this is that this approach is really helpful while understanding a topic / problem ,   the valuable aspects of the tasks and also the other aspects . This helps one understand so   much more than the common knowledge that we have about the topic . It helps us understand   the commonalities of the sub topics from the main task . Since a mind map is in a graphic form , it   is easier to pen down and understand ones thoughts . You can always keep coming back to it for   reference . 

 This course helped me understand mind mapping in a better way . It was just a step I used   before any project but I now truly understand the importance of it . Now I can prepare and   present my thoughts and ideas in the best way . 

 I have a design background , but want to become an entrepreneur . i am so grateful of these   different tools and surely consider them an asset !
