Mindmapping vs. Note taking

Traditional ways of taking notes which are linear is considered to be the standard way of taking notes.  The traditional way of note taking has three key elements to it –

  1. 1. Linear Pattern – the notes are usually written in straight lines. Grammar, Chronology & sequences are typically used.
    2. Symbols- more often than not, words, letters and numbers are used.
    3. Analysis – Various analysis was used but its quality is ffected by the linear patterns.
      However, to be effective and using the Whole Brain – the left as well as the right cortex, it should also include the following –
      - Visual Rhythm
      - Visual Pattern
      - Colour
      - Image
      - Visualization
      - Dimension
      - Spatial Awareness
      - Association
      All these are important from a perspective of “Complete Learning” – which is where Mind mapping comes in.
      Use Mindmap’s as a way of using your Whole Brain- which in turn is a way of you living to your full potential.
      I will write more on these areas in the coming days.
      Adieu for now.
