Skills:
Thank you very much for your praise, to get so many encouragement good fun ~ for everyone interested in the question, I unified reply ~
- Software: XMind8 (Premium Edition is only authorized for 2 PCs ... Sorry can't share, in fact, the free version for the light user is enough.
- Book recommendation: Donny Bozing "Mind map" (I have only read the first book, master the concept can be, the focus is hands-on practice!! Each person's way of thinking is different, to find the most suitable for their own model is good ~)
- How to get started: Getting started is simple, and the hard part is how to make your own thinking system perfect. More reference to other people's map, try to draw two of their own, carefully understand the other friends in this issue of sharing, will certainly be able to initially form their own style. I am afraid that the follow-up will not be covered by the answer. I am still in the exploration, until the new height to share it ~
@ She Xiaoyang's comments I agree: the map is only a tool for the outward thinking . We must strive to improve the thinking ability ~
- choice of the paper version or software: See personal likes. I personally have tried the paper version, but I like to adjust many times, each round of study or review of the process of further modification, improvement. Using the software to make notes anytime, anywhere is really good ~ tangled friends why not try both?
- why not the most standard mind mapping? the "most standard" mind map too emphasizes image memory, advocates free association, and is suitable for brainstorming and other needs of creative thinking. And I now focus on their own subject of professional learning is very focused on structured thinking , which is the need to form a complete knowledge system, the inherent logic of knowledge more emphasis .
Skill sharing
Mind mapping is just a tool, and the core value is whether your own logical thinking is clear . Fortunately, mind mapping can exercise this ability to think. The advantage of using software is that it is flexible enough to be dragged and reassembled over and over again. My own pattern is: first quick brainstorming, thinking of what to write. Then change it over and over until you make sure the hierarchy is clear enough. After a perfect, the system is complete. The future, whether it is reviewing knowledge or thinking further, can quickly enter the state.
3. Mind Mapping Tool

and Tao, each of the excellent tools behind the condensation of the idea of the designer, the user to learn, practice, and finally through the user's understanding and creativity to give its new ideas.
How to use mind mapping depends on the brain that uses it.
No tool is omnipotent, we must use its merits.
The limitations of mind mapping.
Mind map in the 80 's in the Chinese mainland, there are experts and teachers have been studying how to apply it to teaching. It was later found that the mind map too emphasized "image memory" and "free Divergence association" rather than "Understanding memory" and "structured thinking". Finally, the thought map is not suitable for direct application and teaching. Personally, the research project was wrong from the start.
"Mind mapping allows children to come into contact and learn" and "mind mapping can be applied to teaching" is two completely different concepts.
We think that the mind map as a memory tool, to stimulate the creative tools, it is worth the students to learn and think, our education should do is to teach students how to use this tool and identify the merits of the tool. Instead of taking the liberty of thinking that a tool can be used in teaching, instead of students to judge.
In addition, any tool has its limitations, "mind map can be used in teaching" itself is a pseudo-proposition. Don't forget about your original purpose for learning the tools.
Mind map: is to use a visual form, the activities of our thinking to describe, help us to express some logic is not strong ideas (relative to the professional flow chart), with a "No Limit" way, let us fully play the creative thinking, convenient record to show our thinking inspiration. (Actually I am not accustomed to call "mind map", more accustomed to call mm figure)

Mind map uses a lot, we can divide it into eight models of thinking:
Circle Map (Circle map)
Bubble map (Bubble chart)
Double Bubble map (dual bubble chart)
Tree map (trees)
Brace Map (branch chart)
Flow Map (flowchart)
Multi-Flow Map (Multi-flowchart)
Bridge map (Bridges)
So the mind map, can be summed up in these eight categories to go inside. But in peacetime study work, we mainly still use the mind map to these several places:
① Note
With the Mind Guide mapped reading notes, meeting records, summary, etc. or very useful.
② Column Outline
Unlike notes, an outline is a zero-based process, while a note is a sort of an existing content.
③ Write a plan
The plan is in fact a deeper extension of the outline, involving more time, location and other specific information.
④ Schedule Planning
Schedule planning We can also use the mind map to complete, the horizontal direction of the diagram can be produced.
or these:
Above, we can all be done in mind mapping software.

What are the handy mind mapping tools for "2"?
The Mind Map tool has many, everybody chooses according to the platform and own demand to carry on can.
① Baidu Brain Map
Baidu Brain Map is an online mind mapping tool, if the computer is not around or in the case of only the network, you can use.
②xmind& Curtain
If you often need cross-platform, and use on different devices, we recommend the use of xmind& curtain.
The curtain volume is small, but multi-platform synchronization (mac&win&ios&android) is great and very fast. We can first press the literal logic and then turn directly into the mind map.
And the curtain can also be exported freemind, directly used in the Xmind.
Xmind is also true, multi-platform (Mac&win) synchronization is great, and Xmind's function should be the most comprehensive of all mind mapping tools (explained in detail later)
③lighten
Lighten is a cell phone mind map app developed by Xmind, so we can also use mind mapping when we take notes on mobile phones.
Xmind also has an app version, but as Xmind cloud service exists, operation input is not as convenient as lighten.

"3" The basic principles of these mind maps you have to know .
Many students in the use of mind mapping process, it is usually used as a note-taking tool, not clear branch logic, over time to develop the wrong usage habits.
①mece Law
Mece (mutually Exclusive collectively exhaustive) Chinese means: "Mutual independence, completely exhausted", that is, we have a topic, we must do not overlap, do not omit the classification, so as to complete to grasp the core of a problem.
Apply to the mind map is also the case, each of our branches must not repeat the meaning, otherwise it will lead to ambiguous phenomenon.
② Pyramid Principle
The pyramid principle is more like a structured thinking model, and what we need to be aware of in mind mapping is that a topic should be done with 3~7, which also follows the Mece law.
Mind mapping is not easy to classify too much, otherwise it will appear unclear.

"4" Xmind what little-known but useful skills
Xmind may be the most widely used mind mapping tool, and many companies even use it as a content reporting tool, and the use of xmind seems to have been rarely mentioned.
①word Transformation Thinking Map
It seems like a very simple trick but it's very practical. We're listing the content in Word, and indentation is done with the TAB key.
Then copy and paste directly after xmind the theme.
We have completed the production of mind mapping.
② using Iconfinder
Xmind Some presentation tools in the presence of PPT, the function is very comprehensive, but the default layout is not particularly good looking.
Xmind 8 Binds the Iconfinder, we can quickly call icon to beautify, which makes the mind map more beautiful.
③ Switching structure
The structural design of Xmind is also very simple, a mind map has a number of primary and secondary relationship of the topic composition, and each topic can be regarded as a new mind map, so we can through the combination of different structures to achieve many unexpected results.
④ Publish link & save to Evernote
In Xmind8 we can also share the completed mind map directly as a link, or save it in Evernote.
⑤ Export Office files
Xmind also has a handy place to quickly export to Office files, such as Word, PPT, and more.
Therefore, before making PPT, we can use Xmind to organize the content, and then to make it later.
In addition to these, Xmind also has a series of cool features such as brainstorming, presentation mode, etc. If you want to learn more about Xmind, you can go to the official website to see more tutorials on Xmind:
For detailed xmind use, you can refer to the history article:
Mind map, originally Xmind so powerful!| Artifact recommendation
I think the use of mind mapping is a very simple thing, as long as you install the software, open the software, to start using.
only when you really start to use it can you understand it and understand its purpose., or it's like I've been thinking about learning from 2010 to 2011, but it always seems so complicated, and it's always just a matter of where to put it.
many things are so, never beginning to have countless difficult assumptions, but when the first step in action, but found that the original fear of the difficulties do not exist at all. All the difficulty lies in how to take the first step and adhere to the first stage, just as the collation of their general, it is both easy and difficult, the key is to begin to organize themselves at this moment, and continue to organize. My book on Mind Mapping is the mind map of the Bauzin Brain Training Manual, written by Donny Bozing, who is known as "Mr. Brain" and the "Father of memory" in Britain. The whole book is not thick, that is, less than 90 pages of content. Practicality and guidance are strong, even if you have procrastination or do not love reading can be finished.

The real role of mind mapping:
The mind map, according to Donny Bozin's own wishes, is relative to the traditional way of note-taking. Traditional notes are like logical thinking and rely heavily on vertical content development. This longitudinal, so that the subject can think of a subordinate relationship concept. But there is a lack of connection between the concepts of each layer, or the concept of any layer, which is called the lack of divergent thinking, which seriously hinders the development of creativity. Because of what? Because we receive information from the outside, most of the visual media. If the stimuli of visual acceptance are mostly vertical logic, then we will lack the ability to think creatively about situations. Therefore, like a mind map, you can directly display all levels in a flat on the note way, you can see at a glance all the conceptual level, can grasp the overall information. And this is the biggest function of mind mapping.
Some people think that the mind map can promote memory, in fact, this is really a bit of the meaning of a circular argument. The production of a mind map needs to understand the general situation of information, and even the details need a very fine understanding. Understanding deepens, nature will increase memory. So it is purely nonsense to be in favor of memory. Of course, there is also a possibility that the serious mind map is the real picture, at least not the kind of self-proclaimed PPT But the substance is the shameless situation of word. When a kind of information, such as text, images and other types of stimulation, for this information is more easily remembered.
In addition, the production of mind mapping needs to have a deep understanding of the information produced. Mind mapping is to write keywords, you need to know what information is important, and which keywords are the core of these priorities. Only then will the mind map be concise and clear. Don't think about making a mind map without a deep understanding, or it can lead to awkward situations. Have you ever imagined a mind map consisting of a bunch of confusing keywords? Are you sure you can read it later?
And then spit it out. Now a variety of mind mapping software, as well as related bestsellers. Are you sure that's your mind map, not your mind guide? Is you kidding me? Where's the picture? Where is the TM? In addition, today's so-called mind mapping is the traditional note-taking mode. If you don't believe it, you can look at it. Is it a vertical logical route (sometimes they are painted sideways)? Does it add to creativity? Is it beneficial to see relationships between levels? Is it a keyword? or is it a pseudo-keyword consisting of random concepts that have no generic relationships? is a small fork on a branch a concept of the genus and the root of the branch? Most of the above problems are pseudo-mind mapping.
Finally, no matter how others boast, how people boast influence and status, we should first see the truth of the matter, and then choose the follow-up with preference.
It's best to read the original, to get the real idea, the fake mind map is time-consuming and expensive, and it doesn't work. Yes, you're using fake mind maps. The Heart Mystery Guest

How to structure and organize the contents of the curriculum and the content to be talked about in the thinking level? I used to use Word documents to write a lot of outlines, list the content to be taught, write that will always be almost written handouts and even speeches, in fact, most of the time is not needed, especially when you are talking about the content of your belly is in stock, and in the daily work has accumulated a clear knowledge structure, This is a waste of time, but also to prepare the manuscript to use very laborious, because the text content is too many.
This time I came into contact with the British Dr. Donny Bozing created a mind map, just like the discovery of a brain-opening treasure, my knowledge points and logic points under the traction of the mind map, become clear, and do lessons, things become more relaxed, sometimes on a napkin can be easily draw the classroom content and structure. and the Japanese Yajima Miyuki in the "Daily life of the Mind map," a book, but also to break the mind map I thought only used in the work of the fixed thinking, she magically use the mind map to all aspects of life, such as your daily life, your study, your communication and so on, The question of what to eat every day, big enough to plan a trip; the most important thing is that the mind map can also be used to understand the self, to understand others, and even to communicate with the sexes. The book also lists a couple of parenting thinking differences lead to contradictions raised, but through the mind map to get the perfect reconciliation, magic ah. Sometimes the heart thought may not express the mouth, oneself to oneself thought also a kind of reason not to come out, then, take out mind map bar, perhaps you not only draw what you think, still can discover you unexpectedly, subconscious but already have the thing. Maybe later my love and family class can add a mind map, when two people want to quarrel, do not worry about explaining, two people each draw a picture of mind map, see what they are thinking, two people's ideas in the end where the difference, haha ~
The scene of mind map is roughly divided into two categories: one is the integration of thinking , such as the production of reading notes, work plans, personal resumes, meeting records, activities, etc., the other is the discrete thinking (generally involves thinking discrete situation is not too much), such as literary creation, Creative work, such as pre-activity planning, imagination and associative ability, is biased towards some non-specific thinking exercises.
If you differentiate from specific work scenarios, it's probably about learning, working, and living.
