Tony Buzan’s prime invention was the Mind Map. He wrote many books about his mental love child, translated into many different languages.
The mind map is designed as a visual aid to the following mental skills:
Lecture notes
Taking notes
Creativity
Aid to memorisation
Passing exams
Organisation of thought
Strategic and tactical planning
It’s predicated on a diagram incorporating a colourful central image with key word branch lines (one word per branch) leveraging the brain’s powers of association, imagination and recall to achieve any number of cognitive goals.
