What is a Mind Map? 

Now it's time to make a mind map about you.... Don't forget the important elements:


 * 1) **Start in the centre of a blank page**
 * 2) Turn the page sideways
 * 3) Your brain has more freedom to spread out in all directions
 * 4) **Use an Image or Picture for your central idea**
 * 5) An Image is worth a thousand words
 * 6) It stimulates your imagination
 * 7) It is more interesting
 * 8) It keeps you focused
 * 9) It helps you concentrate
 * 10) **Use Colours throughout**
 * 11) Colours are exciting to the brain
 * 12) Colours add vibrancy and life to your Mind Map
 * 13) Clours add energy to your creative thinking
 * 14) **Connect Main Branches to the central image**
 * 15) Connect second and third level branches
 * 16) The brain works by association
 * 17) The brain likes to link things together
 * 18) Linking the branches creates structure
 * 19) **Make your lines curved**
 * 20) Straight lines are boring
 * 21) Curved branches are attractive
 * 22) **Use One Key Word per line**
 * 23) Single Key Words give your Mind Map more power and flexibility
 * 24) Each word or image creates its own associations and connections
 * 25) Each Key Word is able to spark off new ideas and thoughts
 * 26) Phrases dampen this triggering effect
 * 27) **Use Images throughout**
 * 28) Each image is worth a thousand words
 * 29) 10 images will give you 10 000 words!
