Mind Mapping and Memory

Mind mapping is a powerful technique primarily used for note taking and making. It uses far fewer words than traditional methods, to greater effect, thus leaving more time for listening and taking part in discussions. It is efficient, fast, simple and dramatically improves recall. This book shows how to do it! Mind mapping has many other uses, including: • planning • problem solving • summarising • brainstorming Examples of mind mapping are included for: • minute taking • budgeting • medical history • holiday planning • lecture preparation Exercises are provided so that progress on both mind mapping and memory training can be monitored. Ideas which first surfaced at the author's business seminars have been tested and are incorporated here.
