Mind Mapping Techniques

More and more people are learning the rules and skills of making mind
maps and apply them to both work and daily life. Based on my mind
mapping experience, the following are some techniques to optimize a
mind map.
Use colors, drawings and symbols copiously. Provide as many
visual cues as you can to emphasize important points.
Keep the topics labels as short as possible. Always try to summarize
complex topic texts to a single word or picture – your mind map will be
much more effective that way.
Vary text size, color and alignment. Vary the thickness and length of
the connectors according to the branch level.
Use central image. Image works better than texts in visual stimulation.
Use boundaries and relationship lines to show emphasis and
associations in your mind map.
