Mind Maps Video

Mind maps are a way of organising our thoughts, plans, projects, etc.

# Start from the center of the page and work out.
# Make the center a clear and strong visual image that depicts the general theme of the map.
# Create sub-centers for sub-themes.
# Put key words on lines. This reinforces structure of notes.
# Print rather than write in script. It makes them more readable and memorable. Lower case is more visually distinctive (and better remembered) than upper case.
# Use color to depict themes, associations and to make things stand out.
# Anything that stands out on the page will stand out in your mind.
# Think three-dimensionally.
# Use arrows, icons or other visual aids to show links between different elements.
# Don't get stuck in one area. If you dry up in one area go to another branch.
# Put ideas down as they occur, wherever they fit. Don't judge or hold back.

Move your best ideas from inside your head out into the world where they can rub elbows with other ideas. Use mind maps, journals, blogs, art, audio and video messages to yourself, and whatever passageways you can find.
