I can't imagine how I would have remembered before I was exposed to MindMapping. I already MindMapped an audio course by Tony Buzan [The Genius Formula]

That work will most likely be the best one to describe/remember the concept you're mapping. Hey Mark,

The best way to chose words when mind mapping is not trying to find the “most correct” word, or follow a pre-defined “method” of choosing words.

You’re probably better off going with whatever word immediately comes to mind for the concept you’re mapping. That work will most likely be the best one to describe/remember the concept you’re mapping.

I'm trying out the mind map metod and there's such a lot to remember I'm struggling with choosing recall words. Any advice would be very much appreciated.

The mind map was done in short bursts of time, always right after I finished reading an important part of the book (usually a chapter or two). Hey Roland,

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?

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:
