Mind Maps, or Mind Maps, is a charting technique invented by Thomas Buzan to capture your thoughts, plans and activities as clearly as possible. Learning to draw them means gaining control over your life, introducing new useful habits into it. This article will talk about how you still need to invent your own Map of Consciousness and what it will take to do this.
All you have to prepare is colored pens, markers, and a piece of paper. In the center, you should write the main word or phrase, to which the whole chain will be reduced. It can be a concept, idea, or problem. For convenience, it is recommended to take a sheet in A4 size.
Next, you need to circle the selected concept in a circle or in any other frame in order to draw your attention to the main idea of the whole concept. Then we draw the branches, which will depict the main properties, additional signs, or related information.
You should not write too much text in this system, because its main idea is to discipline your mind. As a rule, human memory more clearly assimilates short and understandable stimuli and further helps a person to use them in life.
Next, you need to divide each branch into an even thinner one, where the details of the concepts and their subsections will be reflected. The sheet will gradually fill in and turn into a large tree-like map that is easy to remember. After the map is completely ready, you should take markers or colored pencils and highlight the most important points. You can use a specific color for a specific task or problem so you don't get confused in your own solutions later.
Having drawn up your Map of Consciousness, hang it on the wall or any other place where you will often come across it. Having depicted the problem and all the logical connections, you can clearly see the means of solving it. This is a great way to resolve all your unresolved internal conflicts, because when you take paper and look for all the threads of misunderstanding, it becomes quite easy to realize them.
If your map will depict some projects, for example, an action plan, you can use markers to highlight goals or completed tasks.
