Let me tell you the story of how Mind MapsB were born
and the idea that was the gennen of How to draw Mind
Maps.

As a child, at school, I liked to take notes and learn.

But the traditional method of teaching gradually led me
to hate studying; I lived the paradox of wanting to learn and
not having the right tools to do so. To get more out of my
studies and recover the lost illusion, I began to underline the
key words of the texts that I read, highlighting the most
important concepts in a different way. As if by magic, my
memory began to improve, while my passion for studying
was reborn.

During my freshman year of college, I was still struggling.

A Mind Map is a method of analysis

A Mind MapB is very similar to a map of a city.

The center of Mind Map B corresponds to the center of the
city, and represents the most important idea; the main streets
radiating from the center represent your main thoughts, while
the secondary streets reflect your secondary thoughts, and so
on. The drawings and special shapes that in urban mapping
represent places of interest, in mental mapping show
particularly interesting ideas.
