Lines
Symbols
Color
Images
WORDS
7 Steps
1. Start in the center of a blank page turned sideways.– Give your brain freedom to spread out in all
directions
7 Steps
2. Use an image or picture for your main idea.– An image helps your imagination. It is more
interesting and keeps your focused helping you to concentrate.
7 Steps
3. Use colors throughout.– Colors are as exciting to your Brain as are images.
Color will add energy to your creative thinking.
7 Steps
4. Connect your main branches to the central image etc.– Your brain works by association. It likes to link two
(or three, or four) things together.
7 Steps
5. Make your branches curved instead of straight lined.– Having nothing but straight lines is boring to your
brain.
7 Steps
6. Use one key word per line– Single words give your Mind Map more power and
flexibility.

7. Use images throughout– Each image, like the central image, is worth a
thousand words!

How many words will have been chosen by only one person?
