| A mind map of my mind map project |
I posted on that other blog this morning, on the concept of confidence, and how we can become confident about knowledge. Of course I advocate the use of mind maps, and I use them all the time, but I acknowledge the skeptics. I also acknowledge that skeptics sometimes see the mind-map light. This is what I call mind map breaking news.

It surely is a big help in organizing all the different aspects of a certain concept. Also, it allows you to be detailed enough without making things look complicated with the organization of ideas. In addition, it would also help to use a variety of fonts or to put some of the terms in bold to highlight and separate the ideas according to their hierarchy.

Hi Alexandra, I don't know how I missed your comment back in October. Better late than never, I will reply now. First, thanks for commenting. Second, yes, mind maps show all the facets of a concept which are not so easy to display linearly. The trick is to use the fonts, colors, pictures that your eyes and mind will recognize and even link automatically to the content. I'm more receptive to colors than my own primitive drawings, so I use lots of colors in mine. I've trained myself to recognize hierarchies by proximity to the center of the mind map. It works for me!
