I have encouraged mind mapping as an awesome learning instrument that may assist you remember things in my Physics Tuition blog.

Well here are 10 simple steps to creating your mind maps. You all can make use of the holiday to practice creating mind maps for past topics.

1. Begining with a blank sheet of paper. It may be any dimensions. A blank one not the main one with lines to restrict how your mind map grows.

2. Begin with the Central topic at the center of the paper. E.g Kinematics. Use graphics to enhance the idea.

3. Branch out the main ideas from the Central topic. E.g Dist/ Disp, Speed/velocity, Acceleration. Use thick branches for the chief ideas. Subsequently, use thinner branches for sub ideas.

4. Use diverse colours for distinctive branches. This will allow it to become easier to link and connect ideas.

5. Retain one phrase per branch and keep the word on top of the branch. Keeping it to one word will allow generation of additions ideas.

6. Insert images whenever you can rather then words. You understand a pictures speaks a thousand words and you also can remember pictures better than phrases.

7. Put arrows or connectors linking branches and ideas showing the linkages between related concepts.

8. Use capital letters and let his creativity flow with your mind map to help you retain it more desirable and easier.

9. Don't be too bother by repeated ideas or points. you'll be able to link them up later.

10. Lastly Have a great time DOING IT. otherwise you'll not do it next time.
