General overview of how to implement it

Step 1: Start by writing or drawing an idea, a subject, a though, the problem in the middle of a blank page, using landscape orientation. As soon as you think of something, you see images of it.

Step 2: Radiating subtopics from the central theme/topic. First-level associations are those tied to the central theme. This is the basic structure known as Basic Organising Ideas (BOIs), and these are branches that are spreading outwards from the main concept. The brain uses imagination and association. When associations are created, links are formed. This is necessary for memory and thinking.

Step 3: – Afterwards set down keywords associated with the BOIs, which should sit on smaller branches connected to the main branch.

Step 4: Put some color! Color is important in mind maps. People who use images and color in their imagination, when learning, are better at remembering than those who don’t. Show your vision, and your brain will thank you.

Step 5: – At this point, revisit your mind map, placing things in order, and numbering the branches. If needed, revise it on another piece of paper.
