One query on Mindmapping.

If a main question has 25 sub points and how to draw lines and there are 5 main questions on a single page.

eg: The determinans of personal income?
1.point
2. ...25.

The determinans of national income?
1.point
2. ....25.

It seems clumpsy on the page and uneasy to read later.

Are there any other method of taking notes other than mindmaps.

while activating i find it difficult to take notes please suggest me what should i do to improve my note making skill. I have improved my other steps of photoreading.

thank you.

Try the Cornell Note taking system. Used with imagination it can combine mind mapping and the ABC list along with some traditional note making.

Also. if there are 25 points you have a perfect number for ABC list. Anchor the points from one to 25 and then you could use the key word header to summarise use ABC as part of the branch to remind you of the list.

thnx for the reply Alex.

I really loved cornell note taking system and am little bit curious if there are any other note taking systems.

I didnot understand the 2nd part. you mean to say i associate all the points(Linking method)and write it down.
I have not yet finished with MO though i have read and listened to other memory courses.

thank you.

Actually there are a few notetaking systems. The herringbone, link systems, table and others.

The ABC list consist of 26 letters and if you have more than 20 items, you can use a unique ABC list specifically for that topic. Associate, each idea with its respective letter. Then in piggybank time you can review the ABC list and check how well you have associated each idea to that letter.
