Need to do a Mind Map for this...

One of the things I learned from the hundreds of trainings I attended in my more than 18 years work experience is about Mind Mapping...mind what? Mind Mapping , from the combination of those two words you'll have an idea what it wants to accomplish...to map or locate all pertinent ideas inside your head or brain. From one of the website offering the software for Mind Mapping, below is a more detailed description of what it is all about.

Mind Mapping is a useful technique that improves the way you take notes, and supports and enhances your creative problem solving. By using Mind Maps, you can quickly identify and understand the structure of a subject, and the way that pieces of information fit together, as well as recording the raw facts contained in normal notes. More than this, Mind Maps encourage creative problem solving, and they hold information in a format that your mind finds easy to remember and quick to review.

Popularized by Tony Buzan, Mind Maps abandon the list format of conventional note taking. They do this in favor of a two-dimensional structure. As such, a good Mind Map shows the 'shape' of the subject, the relative importance of individual points, and the way in which facts relate to one another. Mind Maps are more compact than conventional notes, often taking up one side of paper. This helps you to make associations easily. And if you find out more information after you have drawn the main Mind Map, then you can easily add it in.


Why do I need to do a Mind Map for this Blog? Because I want to give you, the readers of this blog a continuous offering of relevant and useful topics on self-help and personal development. Hopefully it will make each topic seamless from the succeeding ones and make the information more thorough and something to look forward to on each publish.

I'll post the result of my mind map on my next blog. I am too tired right now after spending the day checking out The Car Restoration 2009 Competition at McKinley Hill in Fort Bonifacio. The event is great especially seeing old models brought back to their pristine condition. I'll upload some photos taken from the event as well. Doing a mind map is somehow like car restoration..bringing out what is already there inside or on its original form, just have to refresh it or restore it.

Le's do that and we'll definitely feel brand new.
