Mind Mapping

Popularised by Tony Buzan, a mind map is a radial diagram starting from a central concept, with branches extending outward representing related ideas, themes, and associations. Its non-linear structure mirrors how the brain naturally associates ideas, making it effective for brainstorming, note-taking, planning, and knowledge organisation.

Come eseguirlo

  1. 1

    Place the central topic or question in the middle of a large blank page, enclosed in a circle or image.

  2. 2

    Draw branches outward from the centre for each major theme or category. Label each branch.

  3. 3

    Add sub-branches from each main branch for specific ideas, details, or associations.

  4. 4

    Use keywords, not sentences. Add images, symbols, and colours to aid memory and association.

  5. 5

    Continue until the topic is exhausted or the paper is full.

  6. 6

    Review the map: what connections between branches weren't obvious before?

Suggerimenti

  • Resist the temptation to organise too early — let the branches flow.

  • Connections between different branches are often the most valuable insights.

  • Digital mind mapping tools (Miro, MindMeister) enable collaboration but sacrifice the spatial freedom of paper.',

Variazioni

Run as a collaborative group mind map on a large whiteboard. Use for structured note-taking during lectures or interviews. Apply as a workshop agenda design tool.
