Mind Mapping a Vacation
Posted by: | Comments
Mind Mapping a vacation is a very practical use of this tool.
On one sheet of paper, you can have:
- ‘Don’t Forget’ Items
- Flight and Locator numbers
- Arrival and Departure times
- Car Rental Reservation Authorization Numbers
- Hotel Reservation Numbers
The map can add details to each of the sub-topics.
Details like:
- Listing those ‘Don’t Forget’ Items
- Frequent Flyer Number
- AARP or AAA Membership Number
- Important Phone Numbers
Develop your own style

If you look at other people’s Mind Maps, some will make perfect sense and others will make you dizzy!
The hand drawn maps will probably make you more dizzy, but mapping on the computer, while usually more clear, can also be confusing to look at.
The point is this: Develop your own style!
The Mind Maps you make are usually for your use, and your use only.
Don’t spend a lot of time making it ‘neat’ if it’s only for you.
It’s true that revising, editing and ‘cleaning it up’ will reinforce the meaning for you, and make retention easier, but know when to stop.
If the Mind Map is to presented to others, it’s an entirely different story. I’ll discuss this in another blog.
