The fine-tuning of the precise order of topics is much easier if I
literally have a picture of them, right there, in front of me.
Typically I go through this first-step process when:
•
Writing a new book or article on memory
•
Organizing a seminar or speaking engagement
•
Preparing for an important meeting
•
Assembling the background details of a new client
•
Understanding a complex subject, whether politics or a
scientific breakthrough
•
Moving house or preparing a travel schedule
•
Prioritizing the “to-dos”
Probably the last one – ‘prioritizing’ – is the most beneficial and
important use of a Mind Map for me. Sometimes it is too easy to
get caught in the present and I can find myself honing in on the
challenges of what turns out to be trivia. The to-do Mind Map
allows me to step back and be reminded of the grand overview of
what I want to achieve in life.
It’s been said many times that Mind Mapping is the “Swiss army
knife” for the brain. Well, in my experience that’s the best
description for it!
