What is mind mapping?
To put it simply, mind mapping is an effective creative technique used to generate ideas by association. To create a mind map, you usually start in the middle of the page by writing down or drawing the central theme/main idea. From there, you work outward in all directions to create a growing diagram composed of related keywords, phrases, concepts, facts, and figures. It sounds simple, but it’s an incredibly effective tool, especially for visual learners or those who need to communicate and share their ideas effectively with others.
