A Mind Map is the easiest way to put information
into your brain and to take information out of yourbrainits a creative and effective means of
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!)
