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. 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.
