There are a number of key factors in learning how to mind map, like:
- Using just just key words rather than long sentences.
- Using images wherever possible to make your mind maps colorful.
- Start in the center with a clear title and where possible a strong visual image that shows the general theme of the map.
- Use color and boundaries to group branches, and colors to depict themes and make things stand out.
- Make ideas stand out using color, humor, images, fonts etc – it will then stand out in your mind.
- Use link lines (with arrows where required) to show secondary links between different elements.
- If you run out of ideas in one place, just move on to another area of the mind map.
- Record ideas as you think of them, wherever they fit. Don’t judge or hold back.
- Get emotionally involved. Have fun. You remember more when you are having fun.
These are just a few of the important factors to consider when making your mind maps.
I have written a full article about How to Mind Map which gives you everything you need to know to be successful with your mind mapping.
