心智圖 MIND MAPPING

讓想法條理分明 你得準備發表演講。Get your ideas organized

你已經完成查找研究，現在腦袋裡充斥著想表達的大量想法。

這一刻，你所面臨的最大問題是，該如何整理這些想法。

或者，也許你打算寫一篇論文，而心中有的只是一個主題。

你需要腦力激盪出一些支持的論點，然後弄清楚如何把所有想法整合在一起。

這些只是許多人經常碰到的兩種情況。

有些人會用擬定大綱的方式來補充並組織想法，不過這是最好的做法嗎？

如果每個人都以線性方式思考，那麼答案就會是肯定的，但大多數人可不是這樣。

這就是「心智圖」派上用場的時候了，這是一種顯示不同想法和資料之間相互關聯的技術。

心智圖這種二維結構意在幫助使用者記住資料，因其格式呈現很容易讓大腦記住。

心智圖經證明不僅能提高生產力和創造力，還可以提高記憶力。

全世界超過二億五千萬人都在使用，所以你何不順應潮流，看看這是怎麼一回事？

You have to make a speech. You have done your research and now have an abundance of ideas bouncing around in your head that you want to get across. The

big question you face at this point is how to organize those thoughts. Or perhaps you are planning to write a paper, and all you have is the main topic. You need to brainstorm some supporting ideas and then figure out how those ideas fit together.

These are just two scenarios that many people deal with frequently. Some use outlining to flesh out and organize their ideas, but is that the best tactic? If everyone thought in a linear manner, then the answer would be yes, but most people don't. Enter mind mapping, a technique that shows how different ideas and facts relate to one another. This two-dimensional structure is designed to help you remember information because its format is easy for your mind to remember. Mind maps have proven to boost not only productivity and creativity but also memory. More than 250 million people worldwide use them, so why don't you jump on the bandwagon and see what they are all about?
