USE WITH CAUTION: Mind Meets Map

One of the most interesting things happens when people start to mindmap.

I tell my students to use more images when mapping their information. I let them know they need to make a nice picture of their notes. They learn to use different colors. And what happens next?

About 90% of them creates a map that shows words while using only one or two colors. Would you believe me that the first pen they usually use is blue?

Yes, habits are hard to break, even when you are doing it as conscious as possible :)

Of course I shouldn’t expect people to put their entire system of thought aside immediately, even if it is for only 5 minutes.

Still, they might be in for a surprise! After all, looking at the same information in a different format opens your eyes and allows you to grow, move forward, explore, increase understanding and much more.

Most people, when creating notes on a topic are about 80-90% left brain side oriented. The other 10-20% is because of perhaps a different outline of data and relationship lines.

Create more balance in your own notes and above all your own life.

Let your right brain meet your left brain and work together. Their combined forces are stronger than just the one on its own.

Doing this, you create a more balanced mindmap where both your left, as well as your right brain side have contributed equally.

Use with caution! :)
