In a Mind Map, the structures resembles how a person's brain actually works. Using colors, images to bring mere words to life, Mind mapping is a powerful way to convey ideas.

we use mind maps for :

There are two types of Mind Map :

* Logical Mind Map

We can use mind map to explore and develop ideas for a specific problem, use it to think, take notes during discussions and summarize books and papers. We can quickly identify, prove and understand the structure of a subject. Mind maps encourage creative problem solving, summarizing information, and thinking through complex or difficult problems.

Besides that, brainstorm in projects helps to create a mind map. This is because we can exchange ideas and manage tasks during brainstorming. Brainstorming is a process for developing creative ways to problems and difficulties. It works by focusing on a problem, then coming up with solutions and by pushing the ideas. It is an extremely effective method because the brainstorming can come out with a lot of new ideas in a session.

In a conclusion, mind mapping is very effective in taking notes. Mind maps show facts and structure of a subject. Mind maps help us to come out with ideas and solve problems.
