Be enjoyable to look at, read, muse over, and remember.
Mind Maps are also brilliant route-maps for the memory, allowing you to organize facts and thoughts in such a way that your brain’s natural way of working is engaged right from the start. This means that remembering and recalling information later is far easier and more reliable than when using traditional note-taking techniques.
All Mind Maps have some things in common. They all use colour. They all have a natural structure that radiates from the centre. And they all use curved lines, symbols, words, and images according to a set of simple, basic, natural, and brain-friendly rules. With a Mind Map, a long list of boring information can be turned into a colourful, highly organized, memorable diagram that works in line with your brain’s natural way of doing things.

clears your mind of mental clutter
allows you to focus on the subject
helps demonstrate connections between isolated pieces of information
gives a clear picture of both the details and the big picture

requires you to concentrate on your subject, which helps get the information about it transferred from your short-term memory to your long-term memory
