I agree with Alex, from what I've read here it seems that some people make a big deal out of photofocus.
I don't mean to sound patronizing, but it really is quite simple.A little practice of course is needed, if your used to hard focusing on every word for many years.
Basically, just relax, soft gaze and don't hard focus in on words.
Thanks for the feedback Investor50.
I have masses of felt tips, crayone and A2, A3 paper which I bought a while back but haven't used yet lol.
I should take my own advice about the photofocus and apply that to mind mapping, as in relax, and just do it.
Like Darkwingdw has just asked, I also wonder whether to revert to the text, or just go with my feelings/thoughts about the book.
There' so many facts in the technical books I read, I think to myself why should I put one fact in over another, because they're all relevant.Then I think, well all the facts won't fit onto a mind map, so I end up doing nothing.
Thanks!
