You can press the minus sign next to each heading to hide the sub-subtopics, and press the plus sign to reveal them again. Below is how my mind map looks when all branches are expanded. When your subtopics are looking quite full and cluttered. So on and so forth ad infinitum (I assume). Then, from each of these branches again when that subtopic is selected, press enter again to create smaller sub-subtopics. After you type in your title/ central topic you press enter to start a new branch. This was one I used for my first year exam revision. I accessed XMind for free through the DDSS memory stick of assistive software.īelow is the basic bones of how most of my mindmaps begin. Along with this, the fact that your writing never quite looks like those bullet journals and Tumblr #studyspo blogs, and that your hand ends up sore and covered in ink and your page is all smudged you might find yourself pretty frustrated and giving up before you really get into the flow of studying.Ī free app that I use that avoids all of the above problems, along with added features I didn’t even know I needed, is XMind. Inevitably you run out of space and have to squish a really vital topic in a not so large space, and an insignificant topic (and accompanying useless diagram) occupying most of the page.
If you’re also an accomplished procrastinator (like me) then you also know how easy it is to get swept away on a tide of fancy stationery, colour coordinating and obsession over how exactly to lay out your information. If you’re a visual learner like me, you might find mind maps the most helpful way for you to absorb information.
