They can increase your memory, help you study, and help you retain images better.</p> <h2>So, what is a mind map? How can it be used to improve your life?</h2> <p><br></p> <p>Mind mapping is when an idea, a word, or a concept is explored through a diagram.</p> <ul> <li>If you’ve ever been in a class where the teacher drew a central concept on the board and then connected related concepts to it using lines, then you’ve experienced a mind map. </li> <li>Mind mapping is a form of data visualization.</li> <li>It allows the person creating the mind map to visually outline information about a certain topic.</li> <li>Mind maps are powerful graphic techniques which provides a universal key to unlock the potential of your brain.</li> </ul> <h2>You will need the following things to make a mind map.</h2> <ul> <li>Blank paper</li> <li>Colored pens and pencils</li> <li>Your Brain</li> <li>Your imagination!</li> </ul> <p>Mind maps are fairly easy to construct. Mind maps should be done in the simplest way possible. You can also use a computer, but it is easier and less time consuming to do it by hand. Regardless of how you create a mind map, there are some basic steps to keep in mind.</p> <p>Follow the basic steps to create a mind map and you will be creating your own mind maps in no time.</p> <h2>Words</h2> <p>The mind map will start with one word, which will be the central concept. Then it will be expanded using other words that relate to the central concept. Make sure these words are simple and don’t overwhelm the map.You have to focus on using as few words as possible.</p> <p><strong>The point of the mind map isn’t to write a paragraph, but to expand a topic in such a way that it is understandable and easy to read.</strong></p> <h2><strong>Lines</strong></h2> <p>Lines are the connectors of a mind map. They also help to highlight the words that you are using to expand the central concept. When you write the connecting thoughts, you should put them on one line while connecting them to the central concept using another line.</p> <h2>Shapes</h2> <p>Shapes can be used with words or in place of them on the mind map. They are tools that can be used to separate different ideas or group similar ideas together. Look for ways to incorporate shapes into the mind map when possible.</p> <p> https://imgoat.com/uploads/0c7c76d30b/49885.PNG</p> <h2>Symbols and images</h2> <p>A mind map is a visual tool, it’s important to incorporate symbols and images in with the words, shapes and lines. Be creative in how you represent different ideas and concepts.</p> <h2>Colors</h2> <p>Make sure you use different colours in your mind map. Colours can be used to group and highlight ideas and concepts that come while you’re creating the mind map. Mind maps are supposed to be multi-coloured creations so don’t shy away from using colour.</p> <p>When you’re creating your mind map you want to do it in a style that is most meaningful to you. While it’s important to follow the set structure in order to make an effective mind map, it’s just as important to create it according to your personal preferences.</p> <p>The purpose of the mind map is to analyse information. If you do not understand it when it is finished, then you have the whole concept wrong. The main thing to keep in mind is to let the mind map go where the creative energy takes it.</p> <ul> <li>Don’t try to force it into a specific shape, but it is important that you use the different shapes, colors, words and lines to create an understandable mind map, for easy learning purposes.</li> <li>You want to understand what each color, shape, symbol and image mean when you’re reading the map later.</li> <li>Remember that the ultimate goal of a mind map is to analyse a concept thoroughly. Don’t make it too difficult so that the ultimate purpose is lost.</li> </ul> <h2>Here are some examples of more mind maps so that you can get a better idea of what is explained above. </h2> <p>https://imgoat.com/uploads/0c7c76d30b/49887.PNG</p> <p><a href="https://imgoat.com/uploads/0c7c76d30b/49887.PNG">Image source</a></p> <p>https://imgoat.com/uploads/0c7c76d30b/49892.PNG</p> <p><a href="https://imgoat.com/uploads/0c7c76d30b/49892.PNG">Image source</a></p> <p>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3iFH717xb90</p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3iFH717xb90">Video courtesy of YouTube</a></p> <h2>I hope you enjoy making your own mind maps!</h2> <p>https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://imgoat.com/uploads/c8349cc726/44248.gif</p> </html>
