Does anyone else think mind mapping is more hype than substance? It seems to be an incredible waste of space, for starters, which itself is a put-off for me.
- GiraffeNecktie 17y agoWaste of space??? If you're doing it right, you should be able to take notes in much less space and your notes should be far easier to review, especially if you use colours and doodles to turn them into a real "map of your mind". However, I do think mind mapping on a computer is worse than useless.
- arghnoname 17y agoI don't specifically "mind map" and tend to take more outline-ish structured notes, but then as different things are discussed, or something harkens back to something mentioned earlier, I get scrawl in the margins, arrows pointing back and forth, etc. I just write down the connections I make while I'm listening to things, without really trying to. I suppose that has a lot of similarities with mind maps. Some subjects have more arrows and lend themselves well to that. Others essentially remain in pure outline formats. There's no one true way to do these things.
