Mind Mapping 2.0
To create effective mind maps, try a **THREE** step process, 'T.A.P.' Here’s how it works:


 * T: Tap into your thought processes**, capturing your ideas and transferring them into a visible, non-linear format in your mind map. At this stage, neatness doesn’t count. Just record your thoughts and ideas, quickly and randomly.


 * A: Arrange, group, add, delete, rearrange and clarify the content of your mind map** until it is complete and well organized. At this stage, you need to look at your thoughts and ideas with a logical mindset. This is also the step where you can add images to enhance your map, plus links to documents, files, web pages and other resources, to help clarify the points in your map.


 * P: Present and share your ideas** in a format that suits you and the recipients of them. During this final stage, you may want to present the map itself to your target audience. But more often, when you are making presentations to logical, left-brained thinkers, export your map into a linear format or print your maps onto poster-sized paper and use these to present your ideas to your audience.
