daily thoughts to improve your visual thinking

Today not me rambling along on mind mapping. I have a video clip I want to share from you.
This presentation given by Tom Wujec at TED. He shows why visual thinking (and mind mapping) work so well in problem solving and collaboration.
I especially like the thought right in the beginning (0:41 and further along). This shows us that we have something extremely powerful at our disposal.
Enjoy!

The quote above is from Alfred Korzybski, a Polish-American scientist and philosopher. It was first used in 1931. It tells us that the image we create of something or someone is not the object itself. It is only a derivative.
For instance: When someone is rude to you, your image of that person is that he or she is a rude person. This is not the case. It is only your perspective. The person is not rude. The behavior comes across as rude.

Master mindmaps on paper are usually maps which show you lots of information on a certain topic. It can be very good to have an overview of all the information in a map. However…
When you create a master mindmap the information can become too scattered. You lose track and you lose the overview.
The master map becomes an overview of many pieces of information which is not easy to read and use.

The more mindmaps we create, the bigger the pile of mindmaps we have. I don’t know about you, but this is something which is a limiting factor for many people. They use a mindmap as a tool to have a better overview, and they end up having all these mindmaps which may even tell them less.
The same of course applies to note-taking, to-do lists, etc. When you create too many overviews, you lose track of your valuable information.
Fortunately there is a cure!

OK, by now I hope you started to use your mindmaps (a little bit more).
As you know, your mindmap will be serving as your personal or professional assistant. I prefer to view my mindmaps as my personal assistants, even when used in a business environment.
The reason for this view is simple: Most of my mindmap are showing my interpretation of a certain topic. It doesn’t matter if this is a personal, academic or business situation or topic. It is my personal view which is expressed via the map. Therefore, I consider most of my mindmaps as personal assistants.
OK, you have this mindmap which helps you. You ‘feed’ it with information. You manage the content.
BUT…
