Mind Mapping

Building a Mind Map 101

Mind maps are VERY useful tools to organize things that you know about, your “knowledge.”

Creating a mind map is an easy way to brainstorm thoughts with a creative order and structure. It allows you to visually structure your ideas to help with analysis and remembering.

A Mind Map is a diagram for representing tasks, words, concepts, or items linked to and arranged around a central concept or subject using a non-linear graphical layout that allows the user to build an intuitive framework around a central concept. A Mind Map can turn a long list of information into a colorful, memorable and highly organized diagram that works in line with your brain's natural way of doing things.

So in short, a mind map is a tool you can use to create “notes” of a different kind… using pictures, branches, words, colors, etc.
