Mind Mapping is an effective productivity tool that I’ve been using for about 10 years. I find Mind Mapping really makes note taking more efficient. Also, the visual representation of ideas lets me comprehend the concepts quickly. Frankly, I’m surprised that I don’t see more people in the business world using this method.
In summary, Mind Mapping is useful for:
- Summarizing information;
- Consolidating information from different research sources;
- Thinking through complex problems; and
- Presenting information in a format that shows the overall structure of your subject.
Once you get comfortable with Mind Mapping, I think you’ll find it as an extremely useful business tool. There is a lot of information on the web about Mind Mapping, if interested in learning more. Click here for a good article that might get you started.
