"Reprint" Efficient reading method and notes step demonstration

Article from the public number: Tsinghua South

As a senior user of Mindjet MindManager, I am deeply concerned about the convenience of mind mapping. Here omit the benefit 100 words.

The reason why I turned back to look at the Mind Map book is because of the recent use of mind map to help themselves and their families on a number of issues analyzed. So it feels that this approach also helps in personal life, personal management, and the attainment of ideal goals, helping to sort out ideas, clarify their direction, and improve efficiency significantly. I hope to learn from the basics so that we can think more about the use of mind mapping.

I'm looking at the Mind Map series--tony Buzan's set of 6 copies, look down, sort by usefulness:

The 10 ways to awaken the creative genius of the brain (The Four books) (these four are not very much for me, and they are almost nothing to do with mind mapping, but each has a mind map as an illustration).

In fact, the Mind Map series water, no need to book, the essence of the basic principles of the book so a few words, a PPT can also be done, or 5 minutes of video can also speak clearly, or see Buzan site also line, of course, do not want to read this article also OK.

Mind Map series, "Brain instruction Manual" only 60 pages, 20 minutes can be read, after reading let me feel the deepest has three points:

1) Basic principles of hand-drawn mind mapping

2) Some good, enlightening cases

3) Use mind map to manage the ideal life of the future.

In the case, the most attractive to me is the professor how to use the way of mind map for the book to take notes, so that the thick books, digestion into easy to enlighten ideas, easy to remember a picture.

So after reading, I personally practiced a form of note-taking method, and recorded some of their own thinking, here the specific steps to share to you:

1) Draw a graphic in the center of the white Paper and write the title. Then draw the main branch of the book. Arrange clockwise.

★ I draw a book here directly, in order to beautiful, the use of English capital letters to write the title.

★ Note that the branch painting should be bent naturally.

2) for each chapter of the main points, or to their own point of help, under the corresponding branch to draw a 2-level branch.

★ Note Here, there is no need to list all the points mentioned in the book, only to summarize the real value of your own points can be.

★ can be scrambled in order to draw.

3) Mark my thoughts on the main points with a pen of other colors

4) Some more details, but the information they feel useful can be extended by extension lines, to draw small pictures in the blank area.

★ I have drawn two here: a book shape, is about how to use the mind to guide the book to take notes of the content

★ The shape of the clock is how to plan the state of the day in an ideal life

Summary and Reflection:

After the painting, I read the book again and found that there are a few other areas in the map that need improvement:

1) Mind map advocates multi-color, try to use graphics to remember. So the color should be more, and should be more graphic things, and not all text, such as the United States netizens also according to the mind map of the painting and calligraphy, in the implementation of the Basic principles of mind mapping is more correct.

2) In fact, in order to encourage creativity and associative memory, the mind map emphasizes the use of "vocabulary" rather than short phrases in each branch. For example, I recorded here "use a keyword online", should be changed to "keywords", and "let the branches naturally bent" should be changed to "curved branch."

But on the other hand, the mind map should not be so rigidly used, the most important purpose for reading notes is to refine the core value of books, and memory. So from this point of view, the use of short sentences to record, in fact, it is more conducive to help themselves to recall the contents of the book.

Finally, we will show you how the American netizens painted a mind map of how to create the ideal life, the gap is not a little bit. You will have a good life as a theme, and then practice it. Share the process with everyone after you have finished drawing.

A friend mentioned that the painting mind map does not have the problem of painting skills.

Mind map does not require any painting skills, we do not want to draw a competition.

It is important to use the painting to express our ideas, the boring text information into the brain excited by the color, graphic text, to help understand and memory.

In the drawing of mind map, the idea is the most important, the others are clouds.
