Mind map

All about our mind map template

When it comes to documenting, presenting, and processing information, it’s hard to beat a good visual. And when it comes to visuals, it’s hard to go wrong with a mind map.

What is a mind map?

Mind maps are a powerful tool that can be used for both generating new ideas and representing existing ones. So whether you’re brainstorming solutions to a problem or recalling information, consider using a mind map!

At the center of a mind map is a central concept, idea, or thought: What is the focus of your brainstorm? From that central idea, your mind map should branch out into related or subordinate concepts and ideas. And those branch out into even more related ideas. And so on. The resulting visual should look something like a web.

You’ll probably notice two things about the structure of mind maps. One, they are incredibly flexible. There is no limit to the number of branches, subconcepts, and relationships you can include—your mind map will be exactly as detailed as you need it to be. And two, the web-like appearance makes it incredibly easy to visualize and understand the relationships between each concept or idea.
