This busy, modern, multitasking life demands organisational and memory skills, and one way to keep all of your thoughts and plans sorted out is using a mind map.
These diagrams can be hand-drawn or done with the help of free computer software, and they'll allow you to see how everything in your life at the moment links up. Ideas and tasks are arranged radially around a central keyword, facilitating study, organisation, problem solving and decision making.
To begin with, follow these tips from mind-mapping guru Tony Buzan:
l Start in the centre of the page with an image of the topic, using at least three colours.
l Use images, symbols, codes and dimensions throughout your map.
l Select keywords and print them using upper- or lower-case letters.
l Each word or image must sit on its own line.
l The lines must be connected, starting from the central image. The central lines are thicker, organic and flowing, becoming thinner as they radiate out from the centre.
l Make the lines the same length as the word or image.
