What is a Mind Map?

'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 to studying and organizing information, solving problems, making decisions, and writing.'

Mind Maps and the brain

Many scientists believe that the left side of the brain and right side of the brain are largely responsible for different functions. The left side largely governs the logical, structured, ordered side and the right side governs the articstic, creative, imaginative side.

Whether you believe this to be true or not doesn't matter. What does matter is that Mind Maps naturally appeals to both your artistic, creative, imaginative side, as well as your logical, structured, ordered side.

This factor makes Mind Maps the ideal tool for many purposes - in fact, most purposes, as you use your brain for every action. This site will help you in using Mind Maps in your daily life.

Many of the articles start off with a Mind Map, so that you have a quick overview of the article. This will provide you with 'hooks' for the material that follows.
