mind map search

I searched through Google images last night for the term 'mind map.'

I looked at the thumbnails of 400 mind maps and was amazed at how uncreative a lot of them were. In a lot of cases they were just outlines that branched left and right, up and down.

These are mind maps posted on the web often by businesses or schools to illustrate a project or to show people how to study.

On the other hand your first mind maps shouldn't be a work of art, in fact most of them shouldn't be works of art. It is, after all, a tool. There is a little map below that is a 'to do map.' It is a nice place to start mind mapping and I think it beats to do lists all day long.

There can be a lot of categories of mind maps, you can chunk them up and down when you do them. My back ground drawing is for a life map and I'll explain it more in another post.

I have to stop just now, I need to take Snickers to the doctor.
