This is a Mind Map that shows you the essentials of how to draw your own Mind Map.

It takes you through the ‘rules’ of producing a Mind Map that will help you to:

Make notes - as preparation for Meetings / Presentations / Lessons / Project plans etc.
Take notes - during Meetings / Presentations / Lectures / Lessons etc.

Mind Maps are superb tools for study and revision. They can replace a whole paragraph of text with a few simple words as triggers to aid recall.

Many people produce ‘mind maps’ that are not really Mind Maps at all. Produce them properly with this guide which is itself an example of an effective Mind Map.

If you haven’t used mind maps before, they are very easy to read. Simply work outwards from the centre along the branches and sub-branches and read each key word or phrase as it grows out from the previous one. This means that as you read the branches growing from the centre towards the left hand side of the page, you will read from right to left, rather than left to right.

You can navigate the map simply by enlarging, moving and scrolling around it
.
The key facts about each topic will be literally ‘at your fingertips’ - and all on a single screen.
