Mind Mapping

Start in the middle of a blank page, writing or drawing the ideayou intend to develop.

Draw lines for subtopics with an idea at the end of each one.

Branch off those lines and off those lines and then off those...

Tony Buzan, inventor of Mind Mapping

Hints:

Use colors, drawings and symbols copiously.Be as visual as you can, andyour brain will thank you.

Keep the topics labels short, better yet,to only a picture.

Vary text size, color and alignment.Vary the thickness and length of the lines.

Provide as many visual cues as you can.
