Mind Mapping

Challenge & Selection :

Mind Mapping helps you to think with clarity and boost your understanding and performance. When  you Mind Map daily, you will become more productive, creative and stress-free on every level. Here are  five challenges that Mind Mapping will help you conquer. A good mind map takes time to write out.  When you’re in a time crunch in a meeting short notes in your tree might be the way to go, just make  sure to elaborate on them and move items to where they need to be as soon as possible before you lose  your mental snapshot.

Graphic idea: A pilot is flying, being given a long and complex set of instructions by his fellow co-pilot.  (This would elaborate a situation where you don’t really have time to take notes at all but have to keep  a mental picture of what’s being said in your head)

Mind maps need to be a group of short words and phrases, not a long complicate set of sentences. The  idea is to trigger your brain into remembering information by jotting down keywords. Check your long  paragraphs in at the door. Graphic idea: A picture of an apple on a table and someone drawing the  labeled cross section of an apple on their paper.

Application :

This usage overlaps with the previous one to a certain point, but it still deserves a separate attention as  it has a wide practical implementation that cannot be deduced to the educational needs only. It has to  do with how our brain functions.

It works by creating associative connections between concepts, and this makes it much easier to see the  interconnectedness between ideas by presenting them in a non-linear fashionIt looks easy to organize  an idea, but you will need a brainstorming session if you do not have one in the first place. Mind maps  also come in handy for this because they unleash the creative inspiration that is more than welcomed  during brainstorming sessions.

Brainstorming may look chaotic at times, but this ‘creative chaos’ is the place where new ideas are born  and developed. There has been a lot of research in the field of brainstorming implications which suggest  that the format we use to write down the suggested ideas can influence the quality of the session.

Insight & Approach:

A mind map is a kind of a diagram that shows topics and how they are connected. Creating a mind map  is a widely used creativity- and productivity-enhancing technique. Invented by British author Tony Buzan  in The Mind Map Book: How to Use Radiant Thinking to Maximize Your Brain’s Untapped Potential  similar styles of diagrams have been around since at least the third century.

A modern mind map is a sort of two-dimensional, organic, and holistic outline. The rules for making a  mind map are loose, but they go something like this:

  Start with a largish piece of unlined paper.

  Write the subject title in the center of the page, and draw an enclosing circle around it.

  For the major subject subheadings.    That is my min mapping report and please appriacte work.
