You can thank me by learning mind mapping
MMing will help you see the big picture & remember things faster than you would ever imagine. I taught it to a boy in high school & he graduated as the "most improved student" in his senior class. He told me it was thanks to MMing. 
Just go to the book store & look thru Tony Buzan's The Mind Map Book or Using Both Sides of the Brain. If you want to see how it is taught to children then buy Nancy Margulies' Mapping Inner Space.
It is the easiest thing in the world to do. Using lots of color will also help your memory. To enhance studying & learning, try Bobbie DePorter's Accelerated Learning. She's top of the line. Her group runs Super Camp.
I have even MMed in books that have space at the end of chapters. I just can't say enuff for MMing & what a difference it has made in my life. It makes PhRing's activation step work fast <<<
good luck
