TIPS
Here’s some usage tips for effective mind mapping with BaseMind!
- You can reparent nodes – if you’re taking notes from a live lecture, don’t worry about making the right connection right away.
Generic mind mapping tips that work well with BaseMind:
- If taking notes, start typing away rather than trying to figure out what the central topic is right away. You can always go back and change the center node. And you can reparent nodes if connections need to be rearranged.
- Be as brief and atomic as possible with naming the nodes. In a mind map, a word often speaks more than a sentence. Pictures are nice but use ones that don’t require wondering what it is about.
- If you’re making a presentation, try to prepare content so that you can start from the center, expand outwards, follow one direction (clockwise or counterclockwise) and speak away.
