Mind Mapping

I dabbled in Mind Mapping in College back in 1997. It was a tremendous help and my grades received the full benefit. The premise is that we are visual learners. I visually drew my notes in college with lines and scribbles connecting thoughts. All the other students were basically dictating every word the professor would utter and spending hours after class deciphering it. That method is inefficient. Think of a bear. Go ahead think of a bear. Did you see the word bear in your mind or did you see an actual bear in you mind. You really have to struggle to picture the word bear. Most, if not all of us, see a picture of a bear in our mind's eye. Humans interpret things visually. Is it a coincidence that that the eyes sit just below our brains and the largest nerve in the body is the optical nerve? Check this link out below. It explains the basics.
