Mindmaps
According to Michael Michalko, in his best-selling book Cracking Creativity, a Mind Map:
- activates your whole brain
- clears your mind of mental clutter
- allows you to focus on the subject
- helps demonstrate connections between isolated pieces of information
- gives a clear picture of both the details and the big picture
- allows you to group and regroup concepts, encouraging comparisons between them
- requires you to concentrate on your subject, which helps get the information about it
- transferred from your short-term memory to your long-term memory
