How can we use mind maps for problem solving? I've done some experiments - here's a short summary. I use the following three building blocks, which I can combine in different ways. Building block 1 - the sheet layout: I use an A4 sheet in landscape format and divide it in 3x3 boxes of equal size - there's no need for exactness and I do it without a ruler. Alternatively, I can use 3 columns and make boxes of different sizes - but at the beginning, 3x3 boxes are easier to handle. I fill the boxes in column 1, then in column 2 and then in column 3. Building block 2 - the box layout: I use each box for a simple small mind map. The size limit of the box will come as a surprise, but it has a number of advantages which I will describe in a moment. Instead of mind maps, I can use diagrams, ordinary text with indentations or math terms. Building block 3 - thinking tools: I can use thinking tools as topics for the small mind maps, to stimulate my thinking about the problem, like: What are key questions? What are my options? How can I split the problem into smaller parts? I find a personal collection of thinking tools very useful - I have a corkboard over my work table and can access dozens of tools and stimuli with one glance. For me, this process has four main advantages. First, a conventional mind maps works best with a couple of main branches of equal size. In problem solving however, I often want to develop only one or two branches over many steps, and this leads to an unsymmetrical, unbalanced mind map. Secondly, moving from one box to the next needs a moment of orientation - where do I stand, and what can I do next? This re-orientation happens much more often in the 3x3 layout than in an ordinary mind map. Thirdly, I find it easier to reflect on a previous thought in a new box than in a branch of an ordinary mind map. Fourth, the combination of mind maps and thinking tools seems very powerful to me. Some remarks: Depending on handwriting size, paper size and personal taste, we can experiment with 2x2, 3x3 or 4x4 boxes. As a fourth building block I'm using a zettelkasten to organize my sheets - but that's outside the scope of this comment.
Thank you so much MR. RAJEEV... for people type like me... i can tell my brain has lots of thoughts... well... honestly i have adhd... this works well for my intrusive thoughs
Mind mapping my doubt ?? Plz answer . the moment we think about forest or wood so many think flash before or eyes prepare a mind map about forest talling the importance or benefites of forest to us
Thanks I liked the way you used the mind mapping. It is good way to arrange all the alternatives. But can you recommend a mind mapping software that cab convert my Ideas to WBS in project management?

Mind mapping my doubt ?? Plz answer .
the moment we think about forest or wood so many think flash before or eyes prepare a mind map about forest talling the importance or benefites of forest to us
Outstanding! Many thanks!

Very helpful, thank you
Thanks for useful tutorial my friend. Thank you. I also made it using videoscribe.
Easy to understand, nice presentation, thank you sir
Infact you are the best!
Now I understand this better
I'll sure subcribe to your page
Neat and crisp!
Thank you very much brother I'm doing my assignment 😊

Thank you. Very helpful, best on this topic I've seen so far that provides useful information.
😀😁
More collection want you
Thanks sir
Interesting
Thank you
Would someone tell us what Software he used?
Thank you sir.
I'm confused he said football but showed a soccer ball.
Thank you , Sir.
u have just explained is what is mind map, i think r more process about this
