When you read the word fruity, what popped into your mind was a little computer printout of the word, with an image of your favorite single fruit, or a bowl of fruit, or a fruit store, and so on.

#5

The brain has a supercomputer-like power that it uses to process information quickly and easily. Mind Maps are the reflection of your brain’s natural, image-filled thinking processes and abilities.

#6

colours are as exciting to your brain as are images. Connect your main branches to the central image and connect your second and third-level branches to the first and second levels, etc.

#7

To make your Mind Map better, add the brain ingredients of pictures and images from your IMAGINATION. For each of your key words, draw in a picture next to it to represent and reinforce it.

#8

Association is the process of expanding a Mind Map on to its next stage. It involves drawing branches coming off your key words to accommodate the ideas you generate. The more ideas you have, the more sub-branches you should draw.

#9

You have completed your first basic Mind Map. You are now ready to explore the exciting world of Mind Map applications and how they can add quality, effectiveness, and success to your personal, family, professional, and daily life.

#10

You now know that Mind Maps have many advantages, including saving time, organizing and clarifying your thinking, generating new ideas, keeping track of things, and stimulating more of your brain.

#11

When making a speech or presentation, you are both physically and mentally exposed. To deal with this dread, most people spend hours and days preparing written presentations that waste precious time and have the opposite effect to that desired.

#12

A friend of mine uses Mind Maps to plan all her family’s daily, weekly, annual, and special events. She said that before she had heard about Tony and his Mind Maps, she was in chaos. She now has a Mind Map on her fridge door and can visually see what the week ahead holds.

#13

Persuading other people to see things from your point of view is necessary for survival. Mind Maps are an excellent preparation tool for negotiating contracts, as they allow you to get a complete picture of the situation and its implications.

#14

The Mind Map is useful for keeping track of everything during contract negotiations. It allows you to see the whole picture and spot relationships that might otherwise be invisible.

#15

Planning a romantic weekend can be stressful, because it is so important that such events are wonderfully successful. With your Romantic Weekend Mind Map, you will radiate from a suitably romantic central image the main branches of the things you need to consider.

#16

A Mind Map is ideal for making notes during telephone calls. It allows you to organize, remember, compare, and connect information quickly. It is also a great way to keep track of your goals.

#17

Mind Maps are a great planning tool. They allow you to see the whole picture and make sure nothing is left to chance. They can help you plan a new venture and make sure you have thought everything through carefully first.

#18

Mind Maps are a great shopping aid. They help you remember everything you need to buy, and they feed your brain with a constant diet of whole-brain stimulation as you use them to remind you while you shop.

#19

Mind Maps are a great way to get through books. They enable you to get to know the subject before you start, as well as providing a study aid that you can refer to. When you review a Mind Map of a book, it is like looking at a photograph album where you immediately remember vast arrays of information.

#20

Mind Maps are a super-tool for improving your creativity and ability to generate thoughts. They can be used to store and share information, and they can be used to cross-reference and shift branches around from one part of the map to another.

#21

You are incredibly creative. To discover this, go back and look at your own Mind Map or the sample Mind Map on ‘Fruit’ on Plate 1. By using your imaginative and associative brain, you generated key words or images that represented the central image. This may seem simple, but what your brain did was actually quite profound.

#22

The infinite creative capacity of your brain is best expressed through the use of Mind Maps. They allow you to generate as many ideas as you want in any creative area. The more Mind Maps you create, the higher the chance that you will come up with the winning idea.

#23

The traditional method of taking notes uses words, lines, numbers, and logic. It does not include any of your right-brain skills, which enable you to comprehend rhythm, color, and space.

#24

The traditional note-taking system, by its very nature and structure, trains you to become less and less creative. Mind Maps, on the other hand, by using the full power of your imagination and all your left- and right-brain thinking tools, allow you to tap an infinite source of creativity.

#25

The brain has its own internal web, called the Worldwide Web, which is organized much like the Internet. The brain is much faster at accessing information, and it can generate its own information much more rapidly and expansively.

#26

The Brain of the Millennium, Leonardo da Vinci, is an excellent example of the power of the principles of Mind Mapping when applied to thinking. He used images and associations to unleash his brain’s infinite capacity.

#27

The final use for Mind Maps is to help you take control of your future. Imagine that you have limitless time, resources, and energy, and that you can do anything you want for all eternity. Then develop a Mind Map on what you want to accomplish if there are no limits placed upon you.

#28

Mind Maps are extremely versatile. They can be used for planning vacations, parties, weddings, events, jobs, and life, among many other things.
