Mind Mapping

Challenge

I am a student who currently pursuing mechanical engineering. My daily  routine is not always same. I am not the master of my mind. Because of that I  am always inefficient in whatever work I do. In order to change this behaviour,  I read some books. Then I had applied things that I learned from those books.  It changed me somewhat but sooner I was back again and trapped myself in  the same inefficient situation. I love to do lot of things but I don’t have time to  do those things. Or else even though I have passion towards certain things I    gradually start disconnecting from those things. The challenge is to find why I  am deviating from things that I love as well as the reason for being inefficient.

Selection

I choose mind mapping. Mind mapping is a design tool to find patterns and  themes in a given problem. I need to find what that stop me from doing what I  love. That’s why I choose mind mapping.

Application

First of all, I found my daily routine by writing all the things that I did on that  particular day before I went to sleep. After I had did this thing for two weeks, I  wrote a flexible schedule in order to prevent deviation. I started to follow that  schedule. I predicted that one day I would deviate. And my prediction was  right. Within a week I started to deviate. I simply noted down the following  things. 1) what I had done before I deviated. 2) what I should had actually done  if I were not deviate. 3) what I had done after I deviated. 4) why and where  was the desire to deviate came from. Then I created a mind map with the data  I had collected from the aforementioned points.

Insight

By applying the mind mapping tool, I found out the reason and cause for my  aforementioned behaviour. I linked action with cause. By linking from action to  cause with an arrow head towards cause. By the result of this I got a clear  picture of what was happening. I found out a pattern that commonly present  in most case.

Approach

Now I know the cause for my problem. In most of the case the cause was  same. With the result of this now I have a new schedule that prevent me from  falling into the same trap that I found. To keep me in progress now I have  morning reading time as well as evening. I also have few pledges as well as play  time in order to feel less difficulty to follow. I have also added social  networking time in my schedule to keep track of my mobile using time. So, it is  more flexible than the previous one. I also have feedback timing to improve my  schedule over the period of time.
