Mind mapping can be put to use for just about any task. Whether you want to come up with new ideas for your business, organize your thoughts when planning a big event, study a new subject, build better habits, solve problems, set goals… the list is almost endless.

But have you considered using mind mapping as a way to loosen up the creative side of your brain?

All too often we find ourselves frazzled and unable to open our minds to new ideas. This is completely understandable when we’re taking in so much new information on a daily basis. This is why it’s a good idea to regularly set aside time to brainstorm and mind map creatively.

The following exercises won’t necessarily be directly related to your end goal — whatever that may be — however, you’ll quickly see how they can open the mind to ideas you may never have thought of otherwise. Use them to improve your life and your business.

Why Use Mind Maps for Brainstorming?

These exercises can all be done with traditional pen and paper, or using a whiteboard. However, mind maps are suggested as a way to see all of the information from a new visual perspective.
