The document provides instructions for creating a mind map, starting with the main subject in the center and radiating out topics and sub-topics of varying importance. It recommends using keywords, pictures, words and symbols to show associations and themes without making judgements. The mind map should be created quickly, jumping from branch to branch and filling in empty boxes later, before going back to edit, prioritize, elaborate and clean up the final product.

1. With paper (or screen) in landscape mode, start with
Main Subject in the center and radiate out.

2. Going clockwise, place 4-10 Topics, then sub-topics on the map
varying importance by thickness of lines and size of type.

3. Use Keywords, as few as possible, because they will trigger
other associations and are information rich.

4. Use pictures. words, and symbols because they are worth
1000 words and colors to show themes and associations.

5. Don’t forget: Develop your own style, without making
judgements, editing and think 3-dimensionally.

6. Mind Map quickly, without stopping.
Jump from branch to branch, filling in empty boxes later.

7. Finally, go back and edit, prioritize, elaborate and
clean up your Mind Map.
