Just something I wanna ask.
As I said I have a lot of materials to study for exams. As I study I need mind maps to review the large content later in a fast way.
I still have this small conflict in my mind:
Sometimes I like to read a text passage and immediately stop reading and put my own words on a mind map. (It is not a quick note as you do).
This approach gives me the feeling of productivity and receive immediately feedback (the feedback is seeing the mind map being produced as I read). This feedback tends to put me in a state of satisfaction and motivation, because I'm seeing the result of my work and understanding (the mind map) being produced.
The bad side is that this approach divides my attention and focus because I'm doing 2 things: reading and taking notes.
This division of focus seems to not let the process flows and continues.
Other point is that, by immediately taking notes of a book that I don't know well yet, makes me regret later, because, after knowing better the book, I know that this notes were not much to relevant to my goals as I thought or that there were things in the book that were more relevant.
This approach, as I said above, have pros and cons.
Now I understand clearly the way you do.
But, in my case, do you suggest me to continue with the approach I've said or keep reading without stopping and just make mind map notes at the end of each activation layer?
