I find it a waste of time. The TOC is listed in the front of a book, all you're really doing is copying it.
Mind map according to your purpose.
You can mind map as you go. I prefer to put my pen down while activating to avoid over writing onto the mind map. If I haven't made any marks on the mind map during the activation period I do them in the last 3 to 5 minutes.
It is a personal preference whether you mind map after activating but the brain has to forget quickly to make room for new information at a primary conscious level so if the activation layer is as long as 20 minutes, you probably prefer to mind map as you go.
