As we age, our minds need stimuli and “exercise” to stay sharp and focused. Here’s a technique to keep your brain focused and help prioritize your goals!
MindMapping
“A mindmap is a diagram used to visually organize information. A mindmap is often created around a single concept, drawn as an image in the center of a blank landscape page, to which associated representations of ideas such as images, words and parts of words are added. Major ideas are connected directly to the central concept, and other ideas branch out from those.”
Here’s a quick summary from asianefficiency.com:
Quick Summary
- Always have a central idea and purpose for your mindmap.
- Make your first tier thoughts count.
- Anything second and below are just details.
- Reorganize your mindmaps to suit how you think.
- Practice and learn over time.
