Hard to describe - but I'll give it a try!! (with a little help from the creator of this technique, Tony Buzan). Mindmapping is a brain-storming, note-taking, thought-organizing, memory-enhancing technique, integrating both left and right brain functions, to facilitate innovation, generate new ideas, support creativity, get into the untapped potential of the brain's capacity, and think in an integrated, unified and "whole brain" manner.
"MindMaps are an external "photograph" of the complex interrelationships of your thoughts at any given time. They enable your brain to 'see itself' more clearly, and will greatly enhance the full range of your thinking skills; they will add increasing competence, enjoyment, elegance, and fun to your life."
--Tony Buzan, Use Both Sides of Your Brain, Third Edition, 1991, p. 109. |
