Have you ever heard of mind maps? A few days earlier i didn’t know it. But when i knew about it i just became thrilled. What an amazing idea!
A mind map is very simply a graphical representation of our thoughts which may come from an intentional thinking or just from random thinking. Say for example you are thinking for a solution to a problem. Many kind of random thoughts may come to your mind as the complete solution of the problem or many discrete ideas may come to your mind as solutions to the different part of the whole solution. In this case with a mind map you put the problem or required solution to the center of your graphical presentation then put the discrete and random ideas that came around the problem or solution.
Ok you have put the random ideas around the main concept. But then what? Then you have work with the new ideas which may come from each of the random ideas in the graphical presentation of your thought and so on. In this way you will generate many different kind of ideas and you can put your thoughts outside the box.
Mind maps can be put in many areas of our life. It can be used to your jobs, it can be used to your creative idea generation, it can be used in your business, it can be used in your personal life and so on.
So, why not use mind maps in our life. I have known about mind maps in a book which i very recently read. It is “The Power of Creative Intelligence” written by Tony Buzan. I suggest you read this book and learn many more about Mind maps. After reading the book i believed that mind map can be a serious tool for many of us who struggles to find a good idea or direction or solution to a problem or anyone who is simply interested to tap into the power of his/her creative intelligence.
Happy reading everyone! &
Happy Mindmapping
