yos, i dont really get mind mapping...well, i GET it, but i think i may be doing it wrong or something. for eg, i mm the pr book, and it took me like an hour to mind map it.....is that too long?
Never mind time in the beginning of anything. Who cares if it takes 2 hours your first (2nd,3rd) time- the point is after you do the MM you can use it to trigger memories of things in the book. A MM flowers out and that's the way your mind likes to visualize things. It's easier to remember things that you've MM'd but I would not do it as specifically as they teach it in the PR book and NO WAY would I do it like he did it on the tapes. He wrote EVERYTHING on that MM, which is probably what you did if it took you an hour or you took a long time in finding things to put on it. I would only MM books I'm very serious about learning alot from. I know that there are entire books written about MM but I think the simple way that you invent is the best way.
I didn't mean to say don't go out and read books about it (I'll probably do it soon) but I have this funny feeling that I'm going to do that and then just go back to the way I'm doing it now. I'm on this simplicity kick for some reason. I think all those Bruce Lee books are kicking (pun?) in that I PR'd.
