7 Steps
1. Start in the center of a blank page turned sideways.– Give your brain freedom to spread out in all
directions
![Page 9: Mind mapping how to maximize your brain’s potential](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/5554bca9b4c90559398b4bb5/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
7 Steps
2. Use an image or picture for your main idea.– An image helps your imagination. It is more
interesting and keeps your focused helping you to concentrate.

7 Steps

7 Steps
4. Connect your main branches to the central image etc.– Your brain works by association. It likes to link two
(or three, or four) things together.

brain.
