5. How to Make a Mind Map / Pattern?
Start in the center: To create a mind map, begin by writing the subject of your map in the center of a blank sheet of paper or digital canvas. The subject can be a single keyword, an image, a question, or the problem you are trying to solve.
6. Why Do You Need to Map Your Mind?
Mind mapping is a visual thinking tool that has many advantages over traditional note-taking and writing techniques. If you’re wondering why you should map, check out this list of the top benefits of mind mapping:
Mapping structured information in the mind. A mind map is a graphical representation of information that conveys the relationships between individual ideas and concepts. No matter how complex or vast the subject, mind maps bring order to chaos and help you see the 'bigger picture'.
Optimize memory in the mind. Mind maps use a number of memory triggers such as colors and images. This is much easier for your brain to memorize and remember than pure text. In addition, mind maps help you connect new information with existing knowledge.
Cultivate creativity. There are few techniques out there that have the ability to get your creative juices flowing like mind mapping. That’s because mind maps use images and keywords to create new associations in your brain, which you can also transcribe at incredible speed.
Facilitate collaboration. Traditional paper mind maps are great for brainstorming ideas on your own and you can use them for a while, but then online mind maps allow you to brainstorm with others and plan together in real time, no matter where people are or what device they’re using.
