You're doing it wrong bro. The lines need to be curved, not straight. To quote the great Tony Buzzam: "Straight - similar, rigid, boring." Well I dunno, apparently he reckons it's 'cause of what you say at the beginning - the brain doesn't work linearly, everythign in nature is curved or some similar dosh.

[PhilosophersNotes]

@harmonicminorshred hah! first, it's "Buzan," yo! And thx for the feedback. I've learned that the heart of my creativity lies in trusting myself and this way seems to be working pretty well for me. but sweet on your curved lines! :)

Mindmapping is excellent, it has excellent potential for learning. However I highly suggest using software for mindmapping, as drawing by hand disables you from making organizational changes. With a software, you can drag a box from one section to another, you can reorder, and if you make any mistakes, just change or delete them.

But anyway, thanks for posting this! I really like philosophersnotes, great job!

[PhilosophersNotes]

@jabentley123 Actually, my recommendation (that I got from Michael Gelb--author of 'how to think like da vinci'-- is to START with your hand-drawn map THEN move to the software. then you get the benefit of really grooving it in thru you're own writing + the clean copy. :)

awesome video man ,just discovered mind maps . you know how you were talking about nature and the shape. also its like a spider web , can you use mind maps to do assignments? i mean of course you use them to hold info in your head but can you use then to do assignments?

[PhilosophersNotes]

@jordanalexanderable sorry it took me so long to reply. YES YES YES! you can use them for everything, yo!

Why no color?

[PhilosophersNotes]

@ZachClooney hehe. I go straight black and white 99% of the time. :) works for me. :)

@PhilosophersNotes loved the vid. but when u spoke about teaching her how to believe in herself I think that u presented her with a pathway which induced what she already knew how to do (believe in herself) which is there from our source, within each of us, but has been blocked. I believe u reopened her pathway to source. Loved the vid!

Thank you very much!

I've purchased Tony Buzan's book a long time ago, but never had the chance to go thru it.

I liked the way you've simplified the concept.

Greetings from Oman!

[PhilosophersNotes]

@Obama90 Awesome!! Thrilled to hear and thx for your note!! Greetings from Ecuador! :)

How do you know that "nature has architected itself" without an Architect? Can you test that hypothesis?

If you're right then you should be able to show a test where something else architected itself with proof of no involvement of an architect or designer. Otherwise you are just talking atheistic nonsense.

Darwin said: "...we know of the laws impressed on matter by the Creator," (Origin of Species, p. 488) [p 399, Bantam 1st edition]

[PhilosophersNotes]

huh? who said anything about an architect? i was just describing some ideas on how i mind map. :)
