 MINDMAPS
A very useful way to aid managing information is to use a mindmap. It can be used to order thoughts,
plan a project, sketch
out a report, guide a presentation, summarise an article, take notes from a lecture, remember key points
etc. Instead of the
linear form of text, mindmaps use a radiating layout, with lines, keywords, colours, pictures, etc.
to show the main points to
be remembered and their relationships. Although mindmaps are easy to draft by hand, there is an excellent
and easy to use
computer programme (MindManager) which can help you do this. It has revolutionised the work of several
colleagues and
is highly recommended. Try a 21 day trial version free from the Internet - visit:
