A brain cell has numerous branches coming from it
which then interact through electro-chemical impulses with other
branches emanating from other brain cells thus forming a very complex
network.
A mind
mapping session begins with the subject
written in the center of a large piece of paper, preferably
in landscape mode. Main
headings are written as branches
coming from the central subject.
Sub-branches may be added to main headings
so as the mind mapping session proceeds, the central subject expands
outwards with all the major elements depicted in a way the eye and
the mind can quickly and easily assimulate and memorize.
Because
of the style and pictorial
nature of mind mapping, it contains numerous
advantages over notes written in a linear fashion straight
down a page.
Here are FIVE key uses of mind mapping:
1. Self-Analysis
Review past achievements and project future goals.
Do
self-analysis mind mapping at the beginning and end of any important
phase in life such as changes
with job, house, relationships, etc.
2. Problem Solving
Gain an in-depth understanding of a problem by mind
mapping it.
Gain
insights
into the connection and relationships between various parts of the
problem with the resultant advantage of formulating an ideal solution.
3. Thinking
Mind mapping a subject allows the mind to wander
freely, adding items of information whenever they seem relevant
to the mind map.
If
you hit a mental block, mind mapping will free
the thinking process as the user draws the central image
and then adds branches, even leaving some blank.
The brain's natural tendency to complete a partly
completed picture will generate more ideas.
4. Teaching
Mind
mapping enables a speaker to be flexible
in the delivery of a talk.
By having a complete representation of the subject
in front, an extemporaneous delivery is possible which is also well-structured,
ensuring none of the main points are accidentally ommitted.
Term
planning
or daily planning is also
made easy with mind mapping as the teacher expands the mind map
branches to cover related subjects which need to be included in
the curriculum. The order can also be easily set.
5. Management
Mind mapping can be used by every individual in
a business or professional organization and in any situation where
linear notes would normally be taken.
Communication
is improved between members of staff. Marketing
and promotion becomes more focused.
