Mind Mapping 

 What is Mind Mapping ? ( and How to Get   Started Immediately ) 

 Brainpower   A mind map is a graphical way to represent ideas and concepts . It is a visual thinking tool that   helps structuring information , helping you to better analyze , comprehend , synthesize , recall and   generate new ideas .   Just as in every great idea , its power lies in its simplicity .   In a mind map , as opposed to traditional note taking or a linear text , information is structured in a   way that resembles much more closely how your brain actually works . Since it is an activity that   is both analytical and artistic , it engages your brain in a much , much richer way , helping in all its   cognitive functions . And , best of all , it is fun !   So , how does a mind map look like ? Better than explaining is showing you an example . 

 This is a mind map about – conveniently enough – mind mapping itself . It presents , in a visual   way , the core elements and techniques on how to draw mind maps . Yes , I know this may look a   little too messy initially , but bear with me : once you break the ingrained habit of linear note taking ,   you wo n’t look back .     Benefits and Uses 

 I think I already gave away the benefits of mind mapping and why mind maps work . Basically ,   mind mapping avoids dull , linear thinking , jogging your creativity and making note taking fun   again . 

 But what can we use mind maps for ? 

 •   Note taking 

 •   Brainstorming ( individually or in groups ) 

 •   Problem solving 

 •   Studying and memorization 

 •   Planning 

 •   Researching and consolidating information from multiple sources 

 •   Presenting information 

 •   Gaining insight on complex subjects 

 •   Jogging your creativity 

 It is hard to make justice to the number of uses mind maps can have – the truth is that they can   help clarify your thinking in pretty much anything , in many different contexts : personal , family ,   educational or business . Planning you day or planning your life , summarizing a book , launching a   project , planning and creating presentations , writing blog posts -well , you get the idea – anything ,   really . 

 How to Draw a Mind Map 

 Drawing a mind map is as simple as 1 - 2 - 3 : 

 •   Start in the middle of a blank page , writing or drawing the idea you intend to develop . I   would suggest that you use the page in landscape orientation . 

 •   Develop the related subtopics around this central topic , connecting each of them to the   center with a line . 

 •   Repeat the same process for the subtopics , generating lower - level subtopics as you see fit ,   connecting each of those to the corresponding subtopic . 

 Some more recommendations : 

 •   Use colors , drawings and symbols copiously . Be as visual as you can , and your brain will   thank you . I ’ve met many people who do n’t even try , with the excuse they ’re " not artists " .   Do n’t let that keep you from trying it out ! . 

 •   Keep the topics labels as short as possible , keeping them to a single word – or , better yet ,   to only a picture . Especially in your first mind maps , the temptation to write a complete   phrase is enormous , but always look for opportunities to shorten it to a single word or figure   – your mind map will be much more effective that way . 

 •   Vary text size , color and alignment . Vary the thickness and length of the lines . Provide   as many visual cues as you can to emphasize important points . Every little bit helps   engaging your brain .
