Mind+Mapping

=**Concept**= The concept of mind mapping was formally developed by [|Tony Buzan].

The concept has two main purposes for note taking and note making. Note taking is a way to record your own thoughts for later review (e.g. notes from a lecture of presentation). Note making is a way to communicate a concept to others through the development and sharing of a map (e.g. outlining the strategic priorities and related initiatives in your strategic plan).

=**Approach**=
 * 1) Set your purpose/goal.
 * 2) Start in the CENTRE of blank paper turned sideways (landscape).
 * 3) Quickly sketch an IMAGE of your focus in the centre.
 * 4) Use at least 3 COLOURS, for emphasis, structure, texture, creativity.
 * 5) Draw curved lines, radiating from centre (thick to thin) CONNECTING main branches to central image & at each level.
 * 6) Use 1 key word or image per line for more power and flexibility in thinking.
 * 7) Use images throughout as a picture paints a 1,000 words.
