"A mind map is a diagram used to represent words, ideas, tasks, or other items linked to and arranged around a central key word or idea. Mind maps are used to generate, visualize, structure, and classify ideas, and as an aid in study, organization, problem solving, decision making, and writing."
^ shows what a mind map is.
Tony Buzan suggests using the following guidelines for creating Mind Maps:
1.Start in the center with an image of the topic, using at least 3 colors.
2.Use images, symbols, codes, and dimensions throughout your Mind Map.
3.Select key words and print using upper or lower case letters.
4.Each word/image is best alone and sitting on its own line.
5.The lines should be connected, starting from the central image. The central lines are thicker, organic and flowing, becoming thinner as they radiate out from the centre.
6.Make the lines the same length as the word/image they support.
7.Use multiple colors throughout the Mind Map, for visual stimulation and also to encode or group.
8.Develop your own personal style of Mind Mapping.
9.Use emphasis and show associations in your Mind Map.
10.Keep the Mind Map clear by using radial hierarchy, numerical order or outlines to embrace your branches.
For me Mind Maps are easier than a rico cluster although both have benefits i think i will use Mind maps to channel my thoughts.
