Description

Are you a fan of mind mapping? Maybe you call it brainstorming, branching and radial maps, visual thinking or just plain problem solving. You can mind map for just about anything - Christmas day dinner, New Year's Eve party, sports competition, any type of problem that needs a solution can also be mind-mapped. Mind maps are a powerful tool for brainstorming, planning and thinking on paper. They also work well for business presentations and proposals. Begin with a main idea in the center. It could be, "Birthday Party" or "Product Launch" or "Impeach the President". From there, you add sub-ideas in the ovals and then break those down further into smaller details. The person mindmapping may draw additional branches and spaces on if they want to keep exploring further. Draw pictures and be creative with your visual display. One of the most famous mind-mappers is Tony Buzan and he recommends following these guidelines when creating a mind map: Start in the center with an image of the topic, using at least 3 colors. Use images, symbols, codes, and dimensions throughout your mind map. Select key words and print using upper or lower case letters. Each word/image is best alone and sitting on its own line. The lines should be connected, starting from the central image. The lines become thinner as they radiate out from the center. Make the lines the same length as the word/image they support. Use multiple colors throughout the mind map, for visual stimulation and also for encoding or grouping. Develop your own personal style of mind mapping. Use emphasis and show associations in your mind map. Keep the mind map clear by using radial hierarchy or outlines to embrace your branches. Mind-maps are used to create, visualize, structure, classify ideas, and as an aid to studying and organizing information, solving problems, making decisions, and writing. Mind maps have many applications in personal, family, educational, and business situations, including notetaking, brainstorming, summarizing, as a mnemonic technique, or to sort out a complicated idea. Along with 52 mind maps are 52 lined journal pages to add additional notes following the mind mapping session.
