This link can be helpful for those of you that would like to listen and see a well-prepared
mind-map, How to Mind Map. Otherwise I would suggest you follow this advice…

1. Create a series of topics and subtopics you want to have included in your mind-map
2. Descriptions or explanations of topic and subtopics should be done with as minimal
words as possible. Work to break concepts down to their bare necessities.
3. Include color that will help your eyes differentiate quickly between ideas and find the
topic you want even faster.
4. Make sure to create simple imagery that will make stronger associations and
remember the material.
