Creative Thinking  Enhancement Skills  Using Mind Mapping Techniques

Having a busy life doesn’t mean that you just let things happen. Planning your life and make alterations to different areas can fill your life with joy and passion. When we talk about mind maps, there are issues you can mind map that may not have occurred to you. We will go over some areas of your life that may need improvement and how you can set up a mind map to see success.
Mind maps are underused at this point in time, considering that you are able to create and view them on multiple devices. Any business that wants to succeed in these trying times should immediately get on board with using mind maps. While we covered several  fantastic ways to improve your business with mind maps, we certainly encourage you to incorporate them into your personal life as well. The more happy and successful you are in your personal life, it will transfer into extraordinary dividends in your  world.
Successful entrepreneurs may also be thought of as "idea machines." Going back in history, we would consider Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Edison, and Nikola Tesla as not only inventors but entrepreneurs. We know that Leonardo used his own form of mind mapping to make notes about his creations, long before Tony Buzan brought about the modern mind mapping system.
The entrepreneur of today has many hats to wear to run a successful business. Productivity comes to mind as an entrepreneur needs to look at ideas and bring the gold to the top while getting rid of the debris. Mind mapping helps with the elimination process connected to productivity.
Tasks for entrepreneurs are often extremely complex, and a regular "to-do" list does not fit into their daily routines. Mind maps allow the entrepreneur to flesh out tasks, adding in pertinent data such as timelines and responsibilities.

Introduction

Modern mind mapping has been shown to be very effective in helping people get their creative thoughts out of their head and in a form that helps in many areas such as organization, creative thinking and problem solving.

The first known use of mind mapping comes from the 3rd century A.D. Porphyry of Tyros engaged in writing an introduction to one of Aristotle’s creative pieces. Porphyry decided that a representation of a tree with its multiple branches, would allow him to organize his thoughts more efficiently and the Porphyrian Tree was born.

The best known figure from history to use a mind mapping procedure was the famous painter Leonardo da Vinci. Leonardo was also an amazing inventor and used a brain mapping system to organize his notes on his inventions such as the concepts for a diving suit, parachute and even a helicopter.

Today, mind maps have evolved beyond the pencil and paper for those who prefer to use software. In this eBook, we will discuss not only how to use a mind map but also 15 of the best uses for mind mapping in today’s world.

What is Mind Mapping?

Mind mapping is a way of seeing information in a different way, often leading to a more focused mind. How we see things, depends on what type of focus we use. In the natural world if you go out for an early morning walk, you see the flowers and the dew sparkling in the sun.

When you change your focus, you see how each dew drop clings to the flower petal. In some cases, you see a bee and by intently following the action, you see the gathering of pollen. Focus and clarity are key to mind mapping success.

With mind maps, you can take large amounts of information from your brain and put that information into very organized chunks of specific information. This will give you clarity on the project you are going to be working on. Since a mind map is a visual tool, it allows you to add color, images and text, which in turn sparks your creativity and leads to an enhanced performance.

How is Mind Mapping Different from Other Visualizations Techniques?

It has come to be a truth that multi-tasking is actually not effective and that you should focus on one important task or subject at a time. This is also evident when you compare mind mapping to concept maps when you talk about visualization. Concept maps work on connecting multiple words and ideas, using text. In mind mapping, you have the benefit of focusing on one word and building your mind map that will show the radial hierarchy of your singular center theme...whether it is an image or word.

There are a number of different visualization applications such as concept maps, pie charts and mekko charts, yet mind maps are
