What is mind mapping?

A mind map diagram represents words, ideas, tasks or other items. These items are linked together and arranged radially around a central key word or idea in the mind map. Mind mapping is used to generate, visualize, structure and classify ideas. Mind mapping is an aid in planning, learning, making notes, organizing, problem solving, decision making and writing.

Mind map is an image-centered diagram that represents associations and other connections between portions of information. Radial, non-linear graphical way of representing information encourages inspiration and brainstorming.

The elements of the mind map are arranged intuitively according to the importance of the concepts. The elements can be organized into groups, branches, or areas. The uniform graphic formulation of information in mind maps aids recall of existing memories.
