Mind map

For those of you who're searching for the history of mind map, they were actually developed in the late 60s by Tony Buzan to help students make notes that used only key words and images. They are much quicker to make, and because of their visual quality, it much easier to remember and review. The non-linear nature of mind maps makes it easy to link and cross-reference different elements of the map.

Peter Russell joined with Tony Buzan in the mid-70s and together they taught mind-mapping skills for a variety of international corporations and educational institutions.

We actually think in pictures

I've come across one website saying that we as a human actually think in pictures. The way this author explains his points are quite convincing. He says something like this, ok You got out of bed, probably showered, got dressed, had your breakfast and then went to school. Now as you remember all of that, do you see a description of the events of the early part of your day written out in words and sentences? Or do you see pictures of what you did? Of course you saw the pictures in your own mind. Now ask yourself this question: If I think in pictures, doesn't it make sense that I should use more pictures in my notes? A picture speaks a thousand words and it is easier to recall information in picture form than just from words alone.

How I wish I got this info during my school or university days...

There are many more mind map by Tony Buzan, here, who popularize this technique extensively.

Mind map in brief

2006-12-23T09:22:00.000-08:00

MindMaps are a tool for thinking. Instead of arranging your ideas in a sequence, you draw them in an arboreal fashion, radiating out from one starting notion. Mindmaps use pictures instead of words, radial branches instead of linear lists, starfish instead of ladders, and associations instead of priorities -- and as a result you think different.

Mind map - Inspired by Tony Buzan

2006-12-19T03:31:00.000-08:00

The reason I created this blog is because of the inspiration I received after reading Tony Buzan book's "Use your head". Thanks to my wife who brought back the book from her library.

I'll share my mind map to you in this blog, and appreciate if you can leave comments or feedbacks.
