Every Friday I will begin posting the "Video Of The Week" where I will share a video I came across on the web that can help in the areas of personal development, self improvement, or success.
This week's video is a quick 5 minute video that can help you find creativity, find solutions to problems, or to simply come up with ideas.
The video features Tony Buzan, a world renown author and lecturer about how the brain functions, learning, and memory skills.
Here is the video entitled "Maximizing The Power Of Your Brain - Mind Mapping":
There were a couple of interesting points made in this video.
Tony mentions that if you simply made a list of things or a bunch of bullet point items, it doesn't do much good because the way the brain is structured, you don't have any connections or any associations with those items on the list. He mentions that if you don't have connections or associations, then you don't have thinking or memory about the items in question.
Another interesting thing he mentions is that when you do use a mind map, you should use curving lines to connect related ideas because if you used straight lines, everything will look monotonous and uniform, which makes it more difficult for things to stand out and less likely the brain remember or even want to think about what is being presented.
Tony also mentions the use of colors and images to help spur on memory, creativity, and idea creation.
Hopefully you can get as much out of the video as I did!
