Self Improvement Information

When I was in school, I loved the classes and the teachers that made learning fun.  I, to this day, enjoy learning because of the examples those teachers set.  Why should learning be regimented and boring?  Our mind is our thinking tool.  If we use our mind in a creative way and implement that creativity in learn, doesn’t it makes sense that we might learn easier and retain it longer?

I have stumbled across mind mapping.  I heard about it from Stephen Pierce.  Here is a link to Stephen’s mind mapping youtube.  I started to research this and will be implementing it in my own learning process.  It makes sense to me.

I wish I had known about this technique when my daughter was going through school.  She had trouble in school due to, what was diagnosed as, Attention Deficit Disorder.  She has grown up to be a creative artist.  She relaxes and unwinds when she is involved in her art.  Would mind mapping provided that link from her creative side to learning and retention? I have included a 5 minute video from Tony Buzan, the founder and author of several books on  mind mapping, explaining this process.  I found it very interesting.  Leave me a comment if you have used this method and let me know how it worked for you.
