note-taking that literally maps out our thoughts.

The common thing in all Mind Maps are that theyhave a natural structure that radiates from thecentre. And they all use lines, symbols, colours,words and images according to a set of simple,

basic, natural and brain-friendly rules.Psychological research also relates this to the

fundamental elements of creative thinking.

Seven Steps to Making a Mind Map:

Make your branches curved rather than straight-lined. Because straight-line is boring to brain.

Use one key word per line. Because single keyword give your Mind Map more power and flexibility.

Each single word or image is like a multiplier,

generating its own special array of associations and

connections.

Use Images throughout. Because each image, like

the central image, is also worth a thousand words.(So if you have only 10 images, its already equal of

10000 words of notes!)
