Flaticon Icon

Grab a pen/pencil/markers/highlighters and paper, or use a digital mapping tool to get started.

Follow these 5 simple steps to begin your mind map:

1. Establish the core topic with a title in the center of your mapping space.

2. Branch out from the core idea by adding subtopics or supporting ideas and connecting them to the core topic.

3. Use keywords instead of phrases for the subtopics, and bullet lists or short explanations for supporting points.

4. Color code information to your choice as long as it makes sense to you and finally, make sure to organize your mind map.

5. Use images/icons (optional) to better associate ideas.
