The creation of mind maps is a very effective way to graphically represent information that we have in our mind. They are a creative way of taking notes or putting a series of ideas on paper and interconnecting them.
Mind maps have some commonalities. They have an organizational structure that emanates from the center and expands radially through different nodules formed by words, colors and images.
Mind maps are able to turn boring and monotonous information into something visual and creative and therefore easier to remember.
Psychological theories of associative information networks explain that our brain works precisely in this way. Any idea, concept or thought that we have is interconnected with other concepts. So when we activate one of these concepts, in turn, all possible concepts that surround it within this network are activated. In other words, our brain is a gigantic mental map with an infinity of concepts arranged in different levels of accessibility..
It will always be easier for us to remember information if we have structured it on paper in the same way that it is structured in our brain naturally.
Mind maps are not only useful for study or for remembering complicated information. They are also very suitable to visually represent any project that we carry out or to fulfill some objective that we have set ourselves..
Following this line, I have created my own mental map to represent the sports competitions in which I want to participate this year. To create this map I have used a page that helps you create your own mind map and later generate an image that you can download and print. The good thing about this application is that you can save and update your map for future revisions without having to start completing it from the beginning.
My mind map on sports competitions would be as follows:
