WHAT IS A MIND MAP?
Mind maps are visual tools that help us think and remember better, creatively solve problems and take action. The mind map encourages creativity and flexibility. Mind maps help you think outside the box.
WHY MIND MAPS WORK
They help you avoid thinking linearly. They open you up to creativity and new ways of thinking. They’re more realistic, because most things aren’t orderly to begin with. They help you get the big picture. They naturally hook into your right brain, where creativity and intuition can help you. Not all ideas organize themselves tidily into an outline format, and linear thinking is limiting.
If you’ve already made your list, try turning it into a mind map. If you haven’t made your list yet, try this strategy.
