The purpose of creating a mind map is to brainstorm ways you can help yourself succeed for the semester or life in general. It is easier to attain goals when you have visual examples in how to improve yourself in different ways.
My mind map helped me actually lay out ways I can set myself up for success instead of just having all these ideas floating around my head. As I move around my mind map I can visually cross out things that I completed or feel approved on. I feel like everyone should make a mind map for themselves because some people feel stumped and don't know where to begin and or what they are looking for. But once they visually see it they can work on themselves little by little.
