Example of Mind Mapping

  Challenge and selection:  A typical type of issue which I have faced in my career were when we  were supposed to attend seminars on how to solve issues or more appropriately il say problems  on ages and cross relation between blood relations. It was one of the most challenging tasks to  have been faced since in that we were supposed to find blood relations between Dad’s Dad  which we well of course know it is Grandfather. Hence it became more and more a challenge  when we were supposed to find more and deeper inside going in chains endlessly. Seeing to this  I thought of developing a mind map for the same which would in turn help me in creating easy  solutions for blood relations which will help me further in Aptitude as well as on a personal  note.

  Application: Reading is an important way to grow as a professional, but with busy schedules, it  can be hard to digest a book or resource enough to apply it to your work. Mind maps can help  you truly absorb what you read. For example, Grubb used a Mind Map to summarize the book  Made to Stick by Chip and Dan Heath. First, he read the book and highlighted words and phrases  that caught his attention. When he was done reading, he went back and made a mind map from  the highlighted sections and was able to use that mind map to successfully guide his next  project. I used the same approach for the blood relation problem and prepared a mind map for  the same. It visually showed the whole process in one concreate diagram which led to easy  visualization of blood relation in a summary

  Insight and Approach: To further provide insight to mind map I used numerous techniques  which were presented in the course. Overall I selected one and started creating mind maps for  the same which helped in due course of time. Television personality Mr.Buzan used the  following mind map guidelines

o Start in the center with an image of the topic, using at least 3 colors.  o Use images, symbols, codes, and dimensions throughout your mind map.  o Select key words and print using upper or lower case letters.  o Each word/image is best alone and sitting on its own line.  o The lines should be connected, starting from the central image. The lines become

thinner as they radiate out from the center.

o Make the lines the same length as the word/image they support.  o Use multiple colors throughout the mind map, for visual stimulation and also for

encoding or grouping.

o Develop your own personal style of mind mapping.  o Use emphasis and show associations in your mind map.  o Keep the mind map clear by using radial hierarchy or outlines to embrace your branches

I used the same approach over the problems and got wonderful results which helped me in my day to  day professional life as well as in Aptitude which was one of my major challenges in life.
