Mind Mapping

TTool · Mind Mapping

By , Editor · · What’s Next

The topic is too big to hold in your head. You've been chewing on it in the shower, in meetings, at midnight. It's only getting more tangled.

Mind mapping is Tony Buzan's visual thinking technique. You put the central topic in the middle, then branch outward — main themes, sub-themes, connections between them. Colour and images are optional but useful. The result mirrors how the brain naturally associates ideas, which is messily and non-linearly.

A radial mind map with a central TOPIC node branching to four labelled themes (theme A to theme D), each splitting into multiple idea nodes, with an "unexpected connection" link drawn across branches and an "iterate" cue.
