7. SPORTS
• Sport includes all forms of competitive physical
activity or games which,[1] through casual or organized
participation, at least in part aim to use, maintain or improve
physical ability and skills while providing enjoyment to
participants, and in some cases, entertainment for
spectators.[2] Sports can bring positive results to one's physical
health. Hundreds of sports exist, from those between single
contestants, through to those with hundreds of simultaneous
participants, either in teams or competing as individuals.

10. What IS Mind
Mapping?
• A mind map is a tool that is used to
visually organize ideas, thoughts and
information.
• It is simply a collection of words and
drawings that organizes thoughts and
information around a single topic or
problem.

11. WHY?
1. Mind mapping provides us with an
alternative to typical, linear note-taking, and
enables us to use all parts of our brain.
2. Mind mapping leverages the power of
associative thinking, which is naturally how
your brain works.
3. Mind mapping follows your brain’s natural
inclination allows for more efficient
memorization
4. Mind mapping helps us to generate more
creative ideas efficiently

12. MIND MAPPING
THEORY
The theory behind Radiant Thinking or Mind
Mapping is:
•Radiant Thinking reflects you internal
[brain] structure and processes. The Mind
Map is your external mirror of your own
Radiant Thinking and allows you access
into this vast thinking powerhouse.

13. ORIGINS OF MIND MAPPING
• First described by Tony Buzan, a
psychologist and brain scientist
• In 1974, BBC TV ran a series by Tony
Buzan called Use Your Head. This
introduced the term “Mind Map” for the
first time

14. MAPS
:
Defined
generally as a
representation
of the whole or
a part of an
area…
They visualize
arrangements,
distribution, or
sequences…

17. KEYS TO LEARNING –
ASSOCIATION AND
EMPHASIS
• Association
– Mind maps associate – based on logic of
association
– Our brains tend to look for pattern and completion
(one, two, three…)
• Emphasis
– Mind maps allow you to differentiate branches
based on emphasis
• Can’t do this as well in linear notes
• BIG difference between constructing a mind
map for your own use, and using a mind map to
convey information to others who did not
participate in creating it

18. HOW TO MIND MAP

19. Start With a Central Idea or Core
Concept
•Typically this is an idea you want to expand
on or a problem you want to solve
•Ideally an image, but can be a keyword
•Closer to center = abstract
•In the branches = concrete

20. RADIATE OUTWARD
• Basic Ordering Ideas (BOI)
• Great questions to get started on the
branches of a mind map:
– What knowledge is required?
– If this were a book, what are the chapter
headings?
– What are my specific objectives?
– What are the most important seven categories in
the area under consideration?
– What are my basic questions? ‘Why?’, ‘What?’,
‘Who?’, ‘How?’, ‘Which?’, ‘When?’

21. 3. ADD KEYWORDS AND
SUBTOPICS
• Use free association and write down all of
the ideas that come to mind
• Think in curved lines and images if you
can
• No limit to the branches you can add

4. Map Outside the Lines
There’s a time and a place for 8 1/2 x 11” paper -
mind maps aren’t one of them. Give yourself
plenty of real
estate to work with so that your ideas aren’t
restricted by
a tiny piece of paper. Try using ledger paper or
better yet, an entire whiteboard wall.
5. Remove Your Filter
As you brainstorm, write down all of your thoughts.
Even if your mind wanders off to what you’re
having for dinner tonight, write it down. If you
don’t, you’ll keep coming back to that thought
until it is properly addressed. Write first, edit later.

23. THE FIVE ESSENTIAL
CHARACTERISTICS OF A
MIND MAP
1. The main idea, subject or focus is
crystallized in a central image
2. The main themes radiate from the central
image as 'branches'
3. The branches comprise a key image or key
word drawn or printed on its associated line
4. Topics of lesser importance are represented
as 'twigs' of the relevant branch
5. The branches form a connected nodal
structure

24. HOW TO MIND MAP
6. Map the Rainbow
Give your mind maps another layer of organization
with color. Use at least 3 different colors in your
mind map as a way to further classify ideas and
subtopics.
7. Use Images
Using images and graphics in your mind map is
another way to help your brain process and
organize the information. Draw or insert images
whenever you think of it to enhance the meaning
of different keywords or topics.

25. HOW TO MIND
MAP
8. Make Connections
As topics and subtopics emerge, you’ll
start to notice associations between ideas
that aren’t necessarily grouped together.
It’s important to note these relationships
using additional lines and arrows.

39. APPLY THE 3 A’S OF MIND
MAPPING
• Accept
– Set aside preconceived limitations. Follow the
laws of mind mapping to where they take you.
• Apply
– Use what you’ve learned from this course and
develop your own mind mapping style. Use them
until they become a natural way of organizing
your thoughts.
• Adapt
– Continue to refine and develop your mind
mapping skills through hundreds of mind maps.
