MIIND MAPPING

Challenge:  As a student I have faced a problem in my life in some situations that I can’t

remember  something or grasp it quickly at the moment it is said to me. For example a situation

in my college where I was learning some practical sessions regarding engines testing etc, which

was explained by my lecturer. At that point of time I was listening keenly but after that when I

am supposed to say process to my friends I am unable to do that. Then I realized that I can tell

what I have learned but not in a sequence but I can remember the parts through which he had

gone through.

Selection: Mind mapping is a tool successor to visualization. For every aspect which happens in

our daily life follows a sequence like we will visualize it first and then we will frame it into a

structure.  By using mind mapping we can divide the entire session into sub divisions like main

branches and then to sub branches. So I have selected mind mapping as a tool to my challenge

because I can remember it forever by creating a branch like structure in my mind and then

recollect and retrieve it whenever required.

Application: I have applied it by dividing the main components and sub systems in the engine.

How the power transmission takes place and how to identify them through some visual effects

like drawing a flow chart and dividing into sub systems and then remembering. I have started

creating a flowchart or a cycle in my mind through different variations like how the flow takes

place and are there any alternative ways to that.

Insights: It helped me to think more creative and out of the box. It helped me to create some

short cuts in a clear cut way. One can even find out the solutions using mind mapping because I

can identify the bottlenecks in the process due to which I was unable to say the process and

rectify them. I came to learn how to grasp anything quickly and clearly.

Approach: I will apply same tool effectively from next time not only in my professional life but

also in my personal life because it helps to rectify the problems too. For every single situation

like in order to give presentations or explain anything to customers I will create a mind map and

explain to them.
