Mind Mapping (lesson 3)

Mind Mapping

Tony Buzan is the founder of mind mapping. He is an author and also an educational consultant. 'Use Your Head' is the Tony Buzan famous writing and he also show his mind mapping technique in this book.

Mind mapping is a very good technique that we can use it in any works to represent our ideas, task or other items linked to and arranged around a central key word or idea. By using this technique it will show us the overall picture of any key words we use to create this mind map.




Reflection on Lesson 3

One thing that I have learned is that try not to give information that other people already know when doing a mind map.

Usually, when I was asked to do a mind map, the first place that I always get the information from is my mind. Well, when the idea is in my mind, there is high chances that it is on others mind as well. This stereotype idea will directly weaken the idea. So in order to get an outstanding idea, think without your mind. (That is what the lectures say, just to tell us to not think in a linear way.) It does not mean that we have to go crazy.

The mind map is a good way of generate idea, starting from brainstorming, write down whatever words come to your mind. Filter them and arrange them in a proper manner. Later on, improve the content by doing researches on the topic. That will make the mind map logic and at the same time unique.
