Mind mapping is a specific method of taking notes that engages your both brain hemispheres. The output of this activity is a mind map - diagram representing different ideas using words, symbols, colors and pictures. Various items on mind map are linked together into logical structure, placed radially around central object representing main idea. Mind mapping helps to increase effectiveness of our mind, makes learning process easier and more pleasant, and boosts creativity.

Mind maps are usually used to taking notes, brainstorming, problem solving, organizing thoughts and ideas, summarizing, learning and many more.

I learned about mind mapping while I was at secondary school, but it was only kind of simple introduction. More practice I gained at fast-reading course, when I started to appreciate this technique.

Personally, I prefer to use a pen (crayons) and paper, but sometimes it is more comfortable to prepare mind maps on-line.

Therefore, I am very happy that new version of my favorite on-line mind mapping tool, Mind Meister is finally ready to use.
