and how you can use them in everyday life.

Wouldn't it be great if you could generate new ideas, planning your career and not just feel you're in a total muddle.

And I've been there.

Sometimes when I've had to put a new presentation together, going back more than a decade now, I thought, how will I structure this?

What will I do?

And I started using mind maps.

And it's the greatest gift I can share with you.

And if you start to use mind maps regularly,

you'll find that what you do, how you work, you'll become much, much more efficient.

So let me ask you to consider what is a mind map?

At its core, a mind map is a visual way of organising lots of information.

You start with a central idea in the middle of a page and then you branch it out into related topics and then branch it out even further into more detailed ideas.

It's simple, but incredibly effective.

Why is it that mind maps work so well?

They work really well because they mirror how your brain naturally thinks.

Your thoughts aren't linear, they're connected, they're layered, they're constantly evolving.

And mind maps capture that process visually and the benefits.

And what I really liked about mind maps, and I used this when I went back as a mature student.

Yes, I was a mature student quite a few times.

Not initially, but then I read a book by a gentleman called Tony Bazan, who wrote a whole book on mind mapping.
