What is a mind map?
It is a visual diagram that looks like a tree with a main topic in the middle and as many sub-topics exploded out in branches. Sub-branches can have mini-branches. The branches are easy to add or move. Information in a visual format makes it more memorable, gives it context, and unveils patterns and relationships that are difficult to see in a linear document.
