Mind Map

Let me ask a small question first. Do you remember more images? Or the written clauses? Everyone's answer to this question is pictures. That's normal because we're evolutionarily designed to remember pictures, not letters.

But everything we want to remember is always given to the brain as these letters. It can't be without that, because you can't even draw for everything you have to study.

But we can make the way we take notes and make short notes a little heavier on the pictorial side. Then it is easy for the brain to remember it.

Tony Buzan invented this method.

Similar to the mentioned advantage of these mind maps, when making this we make connections between the facts we know, so we understand the lesson better. Also, because a page-long note can be shortened to one page, it will be very convenient for you to look at the notes again and again. When you remember the mind map in the exam, you can write the answers to the essay questions without any problems.

So, how do we make a mind map?

Take a half sheet and keep it crosswise and write the topic of making the note in the middle of it. After that, write the sub-titles that come under that title like branches around it.

Next, write only the most special words and ideas (key words & key concepts) of the things you need to know under those subheadings very briefly as branches.(Don't write long and long notes on this. It's enough to write two or three words to remember the relevant point. It's a brain task to remember it when you look at it again.)

The other special thing is to match as many small images/colors as possible.(Remember the clever images of our brains.)But don't waste too much time on this. It doesn't matter if the images are ugly.

If you continue like this, you will get a short but complete note related to your topic.

When looking at the note again, look at the key words and remember the relevant point exactly. This is much more effective than reading books again and again. Because here we train our brain to remember those facts, it will be very convenient for you in the exam

So wait no more. Do your brain a favor. Start taking notes so that he can understand.

Happy Studying!

Summary – 

• It is easy for the brain to remember the facts of mind maps.
• Write the topic of the note in the middle of the paper and show the sub-topics and relevant facts branching off from it.
• Write facts briefly. Draw pictures. use Colors .
• Otherwise, look at the mind map and remember the whole lesson.
