The methods we use to take notes and organize our thoughts can have a surprisingly strong influence on the way we think. While pen and paper were the go-to tools for organizing and recording ideas for many years and can still play a perfectly serviceable role in doing so, technology has given us new options better optimized for inspiring greater creativity. Mind mapping takes advantage of the way the mind works. Our natural tendency is to think radially, rather than linearly. Linear organization requires that each idea follow upon the last, and any connections between ideas that aren’t placed next to each other are harder to spot. Mind mapping brings more flexibility to the process. You can organize your ideas and notes however you like, and move items around to better make new connections or re-consider the relationships between ideas. In higher education, mind mapping can be incorporated into many phases of the learning process to improve performance and create better learning habits.
