Mind Mapping as the tool of choice 

 I have chosen to apply the Mind Mapping tool . A mind map can be 

 used to represent a subject or an idea , structuring the information 

 in a map - like view . The topic is placed at center of the map ( its 

 starting point ) and then the concepts and details , are connected in 

 a logic , hierarchical way . For example : 

 Example of a mind map showing types of social networks 

 The example map above quickly informs the us about what the 

 topic is ( types of social networks ) , what are the categories and sub- 

 categories ( gaming , photography , … ) and what are some items 

 within those categories ( the social networks like Facebook , 

 Twitter , etc ) . 

 Application and insights 

 So after learning about the Mind Mapping tool , I started creating 

 maps at work and also for my MBA course . My insight was that the 

 tasks or assignments we execute are usually really repetition of 

 something already done in the past . However , although they ’re 

 known , they are also too big or too complex for us to rely only on 

 our memories . Here ’s where the mind mapping helps a lot . 

 The two below are some examples where I ’m applying the mind 

 mapping : 

 • Starting a new project : using a mind map to organize 

 the dozens of things that a project manager has to 

 coordinate has greatly facilitated my work . Every project 

 basically contains the same items : scope ( what ’s in , what ’s 

 out ) , timeline ( dates , milestones ) , costs , resources 

 ( people , equipments ) , risks and assumptions . 

 • Learning a new subject : to me , the hardest part of 

 learning a new subject , is visualizing how big it is and how 

 its concepts and details are interconnected . Creating a 

 mind map had a vast positive impact on my study because 

 I can , as I read through the pages , create the visual map 

 representation of the subject . 

 Final final considerations 

 As I am seeing the benefits of mind maps for both work and study , 

 I definitely plan to continue using the tool . I have identified some 

 pitfalls , though . Something I learned in these few weeks is that the 

 map itself can oversimplify an idea , only scratching its surface and 

 therefore not including important details . You have to learn to find 

 the right granularity for the information you ’re mapping . And 

 another potential problem is that , although there are the “ roads ” 

 connecting your central subject and its concepts and specifics , 

 unless you create a narrative , it will be hard to make sense of what 

 you ’re trying to learn / understand . Create a story in your head that 

 has a beggining , a development and an ending , so it ’s all 

 cohesively tied together and engraved in your head .
