A mind map is a diagram used to represent words, ideas, tasks, or other items linked to and arranged around a central key word or idea. Mind maps are used to generate, visualize, structure, and classify ideas, and as an aid in study, organization, problem solving, decision making, and writing.
The elements of a given mind map are arranged intuitively according to the importance of the concepts, and are classified into groupings, branches, or areas, with the goal of representing semantic or other connections between portions of information. Mind maps may also aid recall of existing memories.
How to create a mind map:
Start in the middle of a blank page (landscape or portait), write/draw an idea.
Put down ideas arount the first idea, develop and ideas that relate to it
Repeat the same process for the subtopics, and carry on until your page is full of useful ideas that will lead you into your final idea.
Final thoughts: I also like this idea very much, and I think with this method I will be able to develop my initial thoughts rather than just coming up with ideas.
