The following is the application of mind map drawn by mindmanager in MindManager, which can cover almost all aspects of life, such as showing and summarizing the resources needed in different stages of project management, as shown in the following figure.
In addition, you can display and refine the contents of the list to help you better organize the projects you need. For example, the following figure is a list of travel plans, which records the information needed in five aspects: arriving at the destination, renting a car, returning, before departure and departure information. Creating a travel list with mind map can make the travel plan clear and not easy to forget.
Let's look at how to use mind mapping to enhance memory:
(1) sort out the context of knowledge points
The context of knowledge points is equivalent to the catalogue of books, which can quickly retrieve the content and help clarify the main line of memory points. When combing the context, we need to comb, split and reorganize the content according to the actual situation, and finally sort out the context of knowledge points that conform to the personal logical thinking framework.
For example, the related knowledge points of university computer network drawn by MindManager are sorted by knowledge, and the five-layer structure of computer network is the main line to show the related knowledge points of each layer structure. Using mind map to show the overall knowledge framework of computer network is of great help to understand and remember this part of knowledge.
(2) Extract keywords or phrases of concise knowledge points and use keywords to extend memory.
In order to better recall the content, it is necessary to summarize and refine the key words of knowledge points, and mark them after the corresponding topics to remind and summarize them. At the same time, keywords can be used to extend and expand knowledge points, which is conducive to divergent memory.
Fill in computer network knowledge keywords in MindManager, as shown in the figure below. On the basis of the overall knowledge framework of computer network mentioned above, the key words of important knowledge in each layer structure are summarized and filled in the mind map in turn. In the process of improving the mind map, we will further deepen our understanding and memory of knowledge, sum up key knowledge points, and enlighten our memory for the future.
(3) Using mind map to extract memory.
After constructing a complete mind map, we can try to recall and reproduce what we need to remember according to the key words in the mind map. At this time, you will find that mind maps are easier to recall the knowledge points behind keywords.
(4) Check for leaks and fill gaps, and optimize and enhance forgotten content.
There are generally two reasons why the content cannot be reproduced after the knowledge points are reproduced: first, the keyword selection is not reasonable enough to effectively promote the associative memory of the brain; Second, there is no good understanding of this part. In view of the first reason, it is necessary to summarize and reorganize the keywords and modify the mind map to ensure the accuracy of the selected keywords. This process can also promote the brain to understand and remember knowledge points again. The second reason is to strengthen the understanding of this knowledge point.
(5) Repeated extraction and memory according to Ebbinghaus forgetting curve.
Short-term memory can't achieve the effect of long-term memory, and the content of our memory will gradually blur and forget with the passage of time. At this time, we need to refer to Ebbinghaus forgetting curve, review knowledge points at different time intervals, and use mind map to retrieve and reproduce memories again, and constantly consolidate them, so as to achieve the effect of long-term memory or even permanent memory.
Mind mapping is a very effective tool to assist memory. The clarity of knowledge points conveyed by mind map can not be achieved by simple text memory. It is an effective tool for thinking divergence and note arrangement, which is very beneficial to enhance our memory.
