Mind Maps - the 21st Century way of note taking!

Mind maps are a creative, nonlinear way of taking notes that are brain friendly and help improve memory and comprehension. Here is a sample mind map of how to PhotoRead a book a week, giving your brain time to integrate the information and make strong connections that last for life.

For starters, color beats the heck out of black and white any day. The brain loves color and thinks in pictures, which is why images are also great to use. Also, seeing the entire map activates our visual-spatial intelligence, and the very act of creating a mind map requires the kinesthetic intelligence and assures that we are active in the learning process, not passive! Why do people forget? They're passive and not paying attention! Mind maps are awesome! Get out of the box and try it, I'm sure you will like it!
