Mind Mapping


When it comes to studying it may not be everyone's cup of tea, and I'm talking about myself. Sometimes we encounter an overload of information in that we end up with too many stuff to remember and we are just not certain if we can hold that much or not. There is an effective way of helping yourself remember things better, it may not be something new but it sure is useful; it's mind mapping. A man named Tony Buzan came up with it in 1970.

It is the technique of summarizing large chunks of information into a tree-like diagram. Then notes can be written onto its branches or leaves, whichever you fancy. And it is a known fact that by adding colours and making the diagram more interesting, our brain tends to capture the image of the information so much better than a plain black and white tree. This is because, in order to improve memory we ought to use as much of our brain as possible, hence by drawing, colouring and writing information, we are actually utilizing both sides of our brain.



Other than that, our work is more organized and easier to look-up some we need to do a quick review.
