What's MindMapping??

السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته

Didn't yet decide what the blog will be about, but I thought of a small intro about mind mapping.

What's mind mapping?

Simply a technique of writing stuff and taking notes.

• your main idea is placed in the center.
• sub-ideas are then branched from it.
• pictures and images are used whenever possible.
• At least 3 colors to write with.

Why should you mindmap?

1. Makes learning fun.
2. Juices up heavy study materials.
3. Shows links between related points.
4. Facilitates the development of supermemory.

The new way with mindmapping:

HOW??

• Using images is more effective, because a picture worth thousand words.
• Using colors activate the right part of your brain.
• Balancing between both parts of your brain results in synergy, when 1+1=11
