1 Reading notes (mind map reading method starts from the upper right corner and ends clockwise at the upper left corner)
(Hint: Click on the picture to enlarge)
As Sister Mole said in WeChat, it is useless to read too many books, because the content is just reading, just like building a wall. Only by generating a soul and understanding the author's logic and absorbing it into his own value system can it be effective, just like no one is willing to spend money on a wall, but is willing to spend money on a house. Mind mapping is one of the tools that can help me create windows and doors.
2 training notes
Because it is a neuron that imitates the human brain, its biggest advantage is its infinite divergence and addition ability, which is easier to modify and add than ordinary linear notes and tables. You know, the biggest disadvantage of linear notes taught in schools is that they stifle creativity, and at the same time, they are time-consuming and difficult to modify. Of course, linear notes are the most common and popular because they are most in line with closed logical thinking.
3 exam review.
Senior high school teacher Zeng Jin once said in class that reviewing during the exam is like having a forest perspective, so don't pay attention to the knowledge of a tree. I didn't understand it at that time. It took a mind map to really understand this truth. Method is more important than effort. This reminds me of a true story. The hospital went for an injection, and the young nurse spent a lot of time wearing rubber gloves. At this time, an old nurse next to her just blew on her new gloves and put them on in a few seconds. Learning good methods can really get twice the result with half the effort.
Recite English
(New concept "Return of the Dead")
I use a lot of pictures, of course, only I can understand them.
4 write an article.
The above is my mind map for writing this article (of course, I drew it twice, the first time because I didn't classify it well). Once I use mind map to draw the structure of the article, I will find that I can't stop thinking, and I won't be satisfied with the exhaustion of Jiang Lang by adopting the original outline mode.
Work aspects
1 make a decision
Mind mapping is divergent, so there is an interesting story about company training. What should I do if the elevator of the company is often congested during commuting? The answer to linear thinking is simple. Open more elevators. After brainstorming with mind map, I found that the essence of the problem is people's anxiety when waiting for the elevator. People will look at their clothes in front of the elevator, so I finally decided to install a mirror. In this way, there are fewer complaints. Of course, our company uses TV sets installed on each floor, and the effect is the same.
But as the book says, mind mapping itself can't make a decision for you, it just presents you with all the choices of big meals, where you can make the most suitable decision.
2 Speech
I still remember my first speech in junior high school, when my legs and hands were shaking so badly that the microphone almost flew away. I forgot my words halfway and paused for two or three seconds. For two or three seconds, I only felt that everything was quiet, and I only heard the second sound of current and my heartbeat. Although tactfully skipped a long paragraph and barely finished it, the result was self-evident.
If only I had a mind map at that time, I would be fearless if I had a picture in my heart. When it comes to speeches, TED's method is also good. Court memorization method, imagine every paragraph in every familiar room in your home, imagine yourself walking through the door-telling the beginning, walking into the living room-telling the first speech story, walking into the kitchen-telling the second speech story, and walking into the bedroom-ending.
3 meetings, management, etc.
1 pen and paper
The paper must be placed horizontally.
For example, A4 paper has more lateral space, which is conducive to the divergence of thinking. In addition, the mind map is to draw a circle in the middle of the paper as the subject word first.
Pens should be colorful.
Try to go beyond 3 hours of color. Because the brighter the color, the better the memory of the human brain. So I found that even some college textbooks are color pages.
2 drawing order. Just like reading, it starts from the upper right corner and ends clockwise to the upper left corner. Looking back at ancient Chinese characters, they are all from right to left. Actually, this is easy to remember.
3 Draw branches.
Draw the first level branch first. For example, in this article's mind map, I write why I should draw a mind map from the upper right corner, how to draw it from the lower right corner, the main points from the lower left corner and the computer from the upper left corner. As a branch of the first layer, it needs to be thicker, just like the trunk of a big tree.
Draw the second branch, such as why it is divided into personal and work aspects. Then continue to divide.
Of course, you can also draw a branch directly to the end, without drawing the first layer before starting the second layer. The advantage of mind mapping is that it can be added continuously. If you suddenly think of something, continue to add it. Many sticks are like a pot of rice and many pairs of chopsticks. You can always cut off branches or add branches.
1 image.
Since it is called mind mapping, its importance cannot be overemphasized.
The center should use images, the branch lines should use images, and the whole mind map should use images.
Because images can help us trigger countless associations and strengthen our memory. This is why children and even adults like reading comics. Reading for an hour will make our eyes tired, but we open our eyes every day and close them at night, and see thousands of images. Did our eyes meet?
Besides, don't be afraid of poor painting. The book tells us that we don't need to improve our painting level. Look at my mind map below. There is nothing worse than my painting. As long as it works.
Two key words
Some things we can't express with pictures, so we have to use keywords. Key words need to be short.
There is a good sentence in the book, but it needs to be translated into English to understand its essence. Try to use fewer phrases and more words.
There is an example in the book. Someone keeps a diary with a mind map and uses the phrase "a very unhappy afternoon" on the branch. It is harmful to write like this. As emphasized in the book, more concise words can show a kind of freedom, so that each word can form its own system and spread to the outside world.
If it is changed to the afternoon on the first floor, the second floor will be unhappy and the third floor will be very unhappy. We will find the answer. You can add morning, noon and evening on the first floor. And found that this morning may be very happy, and there may be a date in the evening. In an instant, the idea came alive and spread. I feel much better.
Line 3
Besides changing the thickness of lines, curves are also needed. Curves with different thicknesses can remind yourself of the importance of the content and help to recall it later.
In addition, the line spacing is reasonable, which is as beautiful as flower arrangement.
Of course, what people remember most is not only beautiful things, but also exaggerated and horrible things. Sometimes drawing unforgettable points is also a good way to remember. For example, the skull above is very meaningful and conforms to the theme of the text, and the dead are resurrected.
Sitai computer
Mindmanager is also very good.
If you can't draw.
If there is too much content, draw paper.
If you don't control the line spacing well
If you don't mind changing the markers.
Then mindmanager can solve these problems, and the mind map of this text is also drawn by this software.
