It allows you to create, capture, organize, and communicate easily understood visual representations of complex ideas. Although it is actually a type of brainstorming, the power and versatility of this technique are enough to grant it a separate web page all to itself. In recent years, mind maps have become standard tools in many creative endeavors, from the classroom to the board room. And, of course, in the writers room This method abandons the list format of conventional note taking. A good mind mapping session can reveal the shape of your subject, the relative importance of individual points, and the way in which facts relate to one another. A glance at a mind map can often serve to refresh your memory about your project. This creative tool engages much more of your brain in the process of assimilating and connecting facts, compared with the conventional form of note taking.

Take a sheet of paper and write your main topic in the center, using a word or two or three. 2. Moving out from the center and filling in the open space any way you are driven to fill it, start to write down -- quickly -- as many related concepts or term s as you can associate with the central topic. Jot them quickly, move into another space, jot some more down, move to another blank, and just keep moving around and jotting. If you run out of similar concepts, jot down opposites, jot down things that are only slightly related, but try to keep moving and associating. Dont worry about the lack of sense of what you write, for you can chose to keep or toss out these ideas when the activity is over.

Circle terms that seem related and then draw a line connecting the circles. Find some more and circle them and draw more lines to connect them with what you think is closely related. When you run out of term s that associate, start with another term. Look for concepts and terms that might relate to that term. Circle them and then link them with a connecting line. Continue this process until you have found all the associated term s. Some of the terms might end up encircled, but these loners can also be useful to you. Note: You can use different colored penspencilschalk for this part, if you like. If thats not possible, try to vary the kind of line you use to encircle the topics; use a wavy line, a straight line, a dashed line, a dotted line, a zigzaggy line, etc. in order to see what goes with what.
