Introduction

Modern mind mapping has been shown to be very effective in helping people get their creative thoughts out of their head and in a form that helps in many areas such as organization, creative thinking and problem solving.

The first known use of mind mapping comes from the 3rd century A.D. Porphyry of Tyros engaged in writing an introduction to one of Aristotle’s creative pieces. Porphyry decided that a representation of a tree with its multiple branches, would allow him to organize his thoughts more efficiently and the Porphyrian Tree was born.

The best known figure from history to use a mind mapping procedure was the famous painter Leonardo da Vinci. Leonardo was also an amazing inventor and used a brain mapping system to organize his notes on his inventions such as the concepts for a diving suit, parachute and even a helicopter.

This will give you clarity on the project you are going to be working on. Since a mind map is a visual tool, it allows you to add color, images and text, which in turn sparks your creativity and leads to an enhanced performance.

How is Mind Mapping Different from Other Visualizations Techniques?

It has come to be a truth that multi-tasking is actually not effective and that you should focus on one important task or subject at a time. This is also evident when you compare mind mapping to concept maps when you talk about visualization. Concept maps work on connecting multiple words and ideas, using text. In mind mapping, you have the benefit of focusing on one word and building your mind map that will show the radial hierarchy of your singular center theme...whether it is an image or word.

There are a number of different visualization applications such as concept maps, pie charts and mekko charts, yet mind maps are
