Many people can't use mind mapping at all.

Hello, I'm the owner of the fish restaurant.

The daily homework of our reading club is to suggest that you write on the computer, instead of drawing a mind map, just write your mind notes.

I see many people posting mind maps on the Internet like paintings. They are beautiful, but they are used in the wrong direction.

It takes a long time to draw such a mind map, but the actual value is not great, or the real power of mind map has not been exerted.

It may be a weapon of mass destruction in itself, but it turns out to be a wooden gun.

Mind mapping is biased.

It is useless to say that mind mapping has two core problems.

First, it can't be retrieved.

If you were a painting, you wouldn't have to say this. If you continue to play a role, you won't need mind mapping in the future.

Because he is a picture, some people admire hand-painted mind maps and pursue exquisite pictures. After painting, it will be hard to find next time. If you spend it on a paper notebook, you should also find out the notes.

If it is recorded on a computer, now we all have cloud documents, and mobile phones and computers can search all the content at any time.

Second, it is not intuitive enough.

You can look at the mind map above. Do you feel confused and don't know where to start?

If you really want to take notes on lectures, meetings and reading, isn't it easier to edit with a catalogue similar to the curtain?

Small topics can also be listed under different topics, so that others can see if they can find ideas immediately.

You said that fancy mind map can be understood immediately by everyone except yourself, and it takes time and effort to draw some useless icons.

If you think this is fun, that's all right, but you can't comfort yourself that you are studying. Isn't learning about efficiency and practical value?

Mind mapping is essentially a thinking tool.

Don't look at the market, there are many people who teach people to do mind mapping. Still pay attention to good form and take notes, these are very shallow functions.

Especially in the hand account team, it is more practical to search an electronic APP casually than hand-painted hand accounts. They have divorced from practicality and pursued formal art.

Mind mapping is not a sorting and memorizing tool at all. This is too low-level. What it really does is a thinking tool.

Why do you say that?

This is related to our brain mechanism. For example, I will say 5 o'clock, so listen carefully.

You will feel very uncomfortable. If you say 3 o'clock, it will be more acceptable.

This is because the brain's short-term memory is limited, and at most four pieces of information are received at one moment, so it will be difficult to receive more or it will be easy to forget.

Short-term memory is not enough What if there are more than three things to consider?

At this time, mind mapping is needed to help the brain increase memory. You can only think of three things at the same time, but what you do needs to consider six things, so the best way is to write all six things out and put them in front of you to help you think.

Everyone knows whether this method is right or not. It can also be said that everyone can use mind maps, which is not as exaggerated as they say.

As long as you write everything you think and link it in different order, you can use mind mapping.

You said I had 5000 yuan and wanted to visit seven places. How should I use this money reasonably?

When you see this question, your brain is already a mess. At this time, mind mapping can help you think. You don't even have to use the professional version, just take out paper and pen and you can think immediately. Where are the seven places and how much are they expected to cost? Write them all down and make a list. Which are more important and which can be reduced or exempted, so the tossing time is not clear.

See, the real essence of mind mapping is a sketch of the thinking process.

There are more advanced usages. Do you want to learn?

It can only be used as an introduction to help you think, and more importantly, it can help you make decisions and judgments.

The core of his usage is to take different factors into account, compare them and find the best choice. If the brain can't hold it, write it out to help you make a memory reserve. This is its core value.

The first stage, divergent thinking, collecting ideas.

Everyone can speak his mind. Xiao Wang wants to go to the seaside, Xiao Li wants to climb mountains, Xiao Li wants to ride a bike, Xiao Li wants to fly a plane and so on.

At this time, it is very convenient to write out everyone's thoughts and reasons. Just take a blank piece of paper and write it down, no matter whether the idea is reliable or not.

The second stage, evaluation and sequencing.

Isn't it creative thinking to cross out the absolutely unreliable, and then connect related ideas with needs and connect different needs?

Some people want to play this, others want to play that, you can solve it together. This is creative thinking.

For example, if you can ride a bike by the sea, can you solve two problems in one place?

At this time, the suggestions you have assessed are at least reliable, and the rest are voting and specific suggestions.

The third stage is to form a decision.

Cross out what is unreliable, cross out what is in line with a few people, and the rest is basically the result you get.

Then fill in the details, book a hotel, book a car, when to go, when to go, where to meet and so on.

Sort out a strategy and you can operate it directly.

The process of these three stages is the process from divergent thinking to concentrated thinking.

First collect and sort out ideas, let everyone publish as much as possible, then vote and choose, put forward suggestions for improvement, and finally form a resolution.

This is the thinking decision-making process assisted by mind map. If you let a person think slowly and collect suggestions one by one, I don't know how long it will take to get this result. Moreover, personal opinions are thieves in the process, but some small ideas in group decision-making can be ignored.

If you have a different understanding of one thing, you need to consider it from many aspects. At this time, the brain doesn't have enough memory, so write down everything you can think of and then quantify an idea.

This is called mind mapping. Draw a picture to guide thinking.

What we should really pursue is practicality, not beauty. You spend all your time on beauty and have no time to think.

Thinking itself is a fragmentation process. Whether the painting is good or not is not the point. The key is whether it helps you to get better thinking. Mind mapping itself is for your own use, not for showing off.

Fancy decoration and beautiful appearance may not be practical. Real weapons are traumatic, wrong and smell like fireworks.

This is the real meaning of mind mapping.
