Business + Good Health

That’s a big headline isn’t it?

Have you ever read a book and realized 1 month later that you remember almost nothing?

It happened to me many times…

This can be very frustrating particularly for how-to books, education materials and other related resources like video seminars and teleseminars.

You may be thinking:

“Karolos, are you stupid? Why don’t you take notes!!!”

Well, my friend I take notes… I also use underlining and mental notes

The thing is that all of these ways are unproductive and ineffective and the I’ll explain the reason in a few seconds.

Have you ever read how our mind works. This ultra-complicated super-computer upstairs is basically a HUGE neural network. Memories and ideas and symbols… all get organized and stored by neuron intra-connections (synapse).

So @$#^&** what?

It was found that our learning ability can be greatly enhanced if we imitate this network. Instead of writing a summary, or a bullet list or some notes it is better to write down small pieces of information and connect everything together with logical lines.

This looks exactly like a network and it’s called a mind map!

I’ve been using mind maps for some time and I’m very happy with the results.

There are a lot of programs for mind maps but I strongly recommend you check out a free popular one called Freemind. Freemind is cross-platform and supports exporting to many formats like XML and PDF.

You can find more information at the Freemind website.
