Mind Mapping style is very personal, you must find the best for yourself. Creating a short mid map from a preview is good if it works for you. I, however do not write trigger words and I do not create a mind map after previewing. During the activation process I mark with a pencil information that I find NEW and RELEVANT to me. I do about 2 to 4 activations then I have my mind mapping about 2 times of 30 minutes each.
