When to use a mind map

  • Planning

    Put the event in the middle and give each job a branch: guests, food, games, music.

  • Finding ideas

    Add every idea as a branch as it comes. Tidy up later.

  • Studying

    Make one per topic, with the main idea in the middle and the facts on the branches.
