Wow, this video deserves so much more views as it is really the most helpful mindmapping video I have seen so far. Watching it, I was suddenly 'Yes of course ! This how I am going to do it !' Thank you so much!
Loved this concept and cant wait to use it in my work! Thank You! Could you please do a video on lots of different types of revision techniques and how they are useful? Thanks x
How can we use mind maps for problem solving? I've done some experiments - here's a short summary. I use the following three building blocks, which I can combine in different ways. Building block 1 - the sheet layout: I use an A4 sheet in landscape format and divide it in 3x3 boxes of equal size - there's no need for exactness and I do it without a ruler. Alternatively, I can use 3 columns and make boxes of different sizes - but at the beginning, 3x3 boxes are easier to handle. I fill the boxes in column 1, then in column 2 and then in column 3. Building block 2 - the box layout: I use each box for a simple small mind map. The size limit of the box will come as a surprise, but it has a number of advantages which I will describe in a moment. Instead of mind maps, I can use diagrams, ordinary text with indentations or math terms. Building block 3 - thinking tools: I can use thinking tools as topics for the small mind maps, to stimulate my thinking about the problem, like: What are key questions? What are my options? How can I split the problem into smaller parts? I find a personal collection of thinking tools very useful - I have a corkboard over my work table and can access dozens of tools and stimuli with one glance. For me, this process has four main advantages. First, a conventional mind maps works best with a couple of main branches of equal size. In problem solving however, I often want to develop only one or two branches over many steps, and this leads to an unsymmetrical, unbalanced mind map. Secondly, moving from one box to the next needs a moment of orientation - where do I stand, and what can I do next? This re-orientation happens much more often in the 3x3 layout than in an ordinary mind map. Thirdly, I find it easier to reflect on a previous thought in a new box than in a branch of an ordinary mind map. Fourth, the combination of mind maps and thinking tools seems very powerful to me. Some remarks: Depending on handwriting size, paper size and personal taste, we can experiment with 2x2, 3x3 or 4x4 boxes. As a fourth building block I'm using a zettelkasten to organize my sheets - but that's outside the scope of this comment.
You’re so underrated! I’ve been watching you since I was doing my A levels for Biology and Psychology and now for my 1st year of uni! Keep it up

Thank you so much!
Omg. This is brilliant. Especially the recall!
Loved this concept and cant wait to use it in my work! Thank You!
Could you please do a video on lots of different types of revision techniques and how they are useful?
Thanks x
Bano S thank you for watching. That's a great idea, i would be happy to do that!
What digital software did you use please?

should we use this for taking notes in lectures?
Mind map for recall may take more time?
I love how she said bout going in a clockwise position and all her mindmaps were going around anti-clockwise
camera is a mirror
I love this
thanks for sharing
Thank you StudentBoss, another very helpful video!!!
glad it helped.
I love your accent!

I loved this and am excited to use it , I subscribed ❤️
+Sxmmi Xo yes! Please do and let me know how it goes
I will!x
Dude why are they fucking up mindmaps. That is not how mind maps look like!
curro
can you please pin me
moonlight glimmer what do you mean please?
Student Boss idk
