After you try mind mapping, please let me know how it compares to your current note taking method. I don't follow a formal draft process when mind mapping. That said, the first mind map is usually not the final one. During the development of large maps such as the ones from books, it is very common to find new relationships that you didn't notice when reading — that's why I recommend doing it using software, so you can easily rearrange and add topics.

I read through it and then at a later date go through page by page and begin selecting points to put into my notes. notes are in word and much hyperlinked to other documents. i am always thinking of ways to better the process and will try mind mapping. question: is there much of a rough / draft process in mapping before one gets to a 'final' map? Cheerio, Brad loved the post. i read tons of non fiction and am a serious note taker. i brutalize a book with marks (trying hard to keep it minimal of course).

I have mind mapped a book before and can vouch for its usefulness. I’m a great fan of mind-mapping and am always interested to hear of new techniques or uses of mind-mapping.

However, I'm sure you can use it for fiction, too. You can create, for example, a branch with the main characters and their traits; one branch for the main happenings in the plot, another for the places, and so on. I plan to publish some mind maps I've made for some non-fiction books soon. Not fiction, I know, but maybe that can help giving you some ideas. josephlowery: Ah – you got me! Thanks for pointing that out – I've fixed it in the post. GS:

I often have to read books for courses and after Im finished I realize that I dont remember a thing I read. Few questions, for getting started, do you just use this for non-fiction, or fiction books too? What type of things do you write in fiction books, as I'm having trouble visualizing it. Maybe you could post an example of one you've done? This seems like an interesting method, that could really help me out.
