Overview
Tony Buzan is the mastermind behind mind mapping dating back to the 1960's. Mind mapping is used by people around the world, both young and old to use their minds effectively.
Mind mapping is a means of taking notes and making notes by literally mapping out ideas. Mind mapping creates an organizational structure which starts with a central idea, and uses lines, symbols, words, color, and images to attach information which further describes the central idea. Mind mapping creates a visual, memorable, and systematic organization of information which works with the brain's natural way of doing things.
There are 5 essential characteristics of Mind Mapping.
- The main idea, subject or focus is crystallized in a central image.
- The main themes radiate from the central idea as branches.
- The branches are key words or images connected by lines to the central idea.
- Topics of lesser importance break off the branches as twigs.
- The diagram forms a connected structure.
