For this assignment I was tasked to create a mind map regarding a significant overarching goal in my life using the site draw.io. This includes 4 child nodes from the main goal and 3 additional nodes from the child nodes that describe the actions for those child nodes.
With my lessons in creating a mind map, I realized that mind maps allow one to reflect on what exactly is necessary to complete a big goal and how this can be broken down. While this can be seen as very helpful, I also can see how for some people who may categorize or organize their lives differently, a mind map could be seen as overwhelming to see how much needs to be done or how many actions must be put into their goal. I realized for me, a mind map can be a little overwhelming, but also necessary, as it keeps me responsible and accountable for my actions towards my larger goals. In the future, I think I will most definitely use a mind map for projects containing other people so that everyone can choose a child node and work on that to achieve the bigger goal for a project!
