Mind Mapping - Ducktivity

Mind mapping is a powerfull way of organising your ideas. Main idea of mind mapping is putting a main topic/idea in the center and decomposing it to sub-branches.This helps you to focus on one sub-branch at a time and it is way easier than diving into main idea. The sub-branches should be relative to the central idea.You can create a mind map with a paper, using a board or on your computer.

An example of using mind map

You are a student and you need to learn how to do basic math operations like subtraction, addition, multiplication or division. You may follow these steps:

Your main idea is to learn math operations. So take a paper or use your computer and draw a circle in the center of a page and write math operations in it.
You have 4 sub-tasks to complete. Think the circle as a root of a tree. Now draw 4 branches each one represents 1 task. Draw circles to the end of the branches and write a task in it.
Now your main idea is broken down into smaller parts. This way you will just focus on one task and this will make you progress faster.
