Create Your First Mind map


Now down to business, so grab a sheet of paper( A4 size paper will be good enough)

Here are some of the guidelines to make a mind map.

  1. Since this is your first mind map we will keep things simple and you will be mind mapping about yourself.
  2. Now at the center of the paper write your name and draw an ellipse or rectangel or whatever shape you like around it. This si your central node.
  3. Now from your central node draw branches, each branch should specify one detailabout you, it can be your address, your parents, your siblings etc.
  4. Now from these branches again create sub branches, with details about that branch( try to use short sentences it will be good if you could use one word).
  5. Keep on adding details to the branches and sub brancehs and sub-sub-branches and so on.
  6. Suppose there is a branch with your hobbies, you can create its sub branches with details about the hobby and you can branch of to an entirely different topic.
  7. Try to use different colours, and also try to draw small images.

Once you feel you have done quite enough take a look at the mindmap and just think about how much you have to speak about yourself.

What you add to your mind map is limited only by your imagination.
