A mind map is a tool that connects information around a central subject. It can help you make a knowledge bank to solve problems. A student recently said, “I thought mind mapping would take a lot of time to do, but in fact, it saves me time. I don't have to read my notes over and over again.” Do you know how to make a mind map? These following steps can help you.
Start in the centre
Starting in the centre of the page lets your brain spread out in all directions and express itself more freely and naturally.

Use as many pictures as possible
Use a picture for your central idea. A picture is worth a thousand words and helps you use your imagination. If you have 10 pictures in your mind map, they are already worth 10,000 words of notes. It helps get your attention and makes you work excitedly!
Draw clear branches
Connect your main branches to the central picture and connect your second-level branches to the first level, etc. Why? Because the brain works by connecting things. It likes to connect two, three, or four things together. If you connect the branches well, you will understand and remember easily.
Use key words and colours
Every single key word can make you learn more clearly and easily. Try to use more colours. Colours are as exciting to your brain as pictures. Different colours express different parts of your mind map and add great energy and fun to your creative thinking.
