Cavaleiro, if you have to read your mind map you didn't group information with colour, use symbols or other fun techniques to make it easier to remember.

When you review the mind map it should take about 90 seconds for most self made mind maps. If you notice that something is dropping off your radar, Go back to the material and fill the Memory Gap*, Draw something more on your mind map. Add information or links that make it memorable for you.

*Memory Gap a term introduced by Vera in the Memory Optimizer course. She teaches there is nothing wrong with your memory if you forgot something. You just have to do something to manage the memory gap. Using Memory Gap Management.
