Work mode is panic mode for most millennials, even at home, on the weekends while you are supposed to be having a ‘vacation’. A call from the boss just when you thought you could take a break, the next thing you have is a presentation due after the weekend! Is it possible? I mean it is not like learning is as easy as Netflix and chill, is it? Is there something that can help me through this? If you are still reading, you are about to find out!
This idea of learning and retaining has changed so much in the present. You would be amazed at how much you could possibly learn through a documentary you watch on Netflix, or a movie for that matter. Learning is no longer restricted to books. But the theory of any concept or subject matter still remains very vital to how you use it. One might say that it is the hardest to learn.
To be a star presenter you must have a full firm knowledge of the subject. You need to know its theoretical background before you demonstrate it. The theory forms the basis of your research, adds fuel to the idea, and is known to foresee outcomes and challenges that do not appear otherwise in the process. So how will you sort your way out of the maze of theory?
Well, we have a way to successfully map your mind through this maze of information. How? The first and foremost step into preparing the layout for a great presentation is to have all the facts and all the content at hand! Lay it out in front of you perfectly. This is how “Mind Mapping” works.
It is a method that enables the mind and the senses through the use of visuals, images, flow-charts and diagrams. So, if you have these triggers to actively stimulate your brain, it is unlikely that you will forget anything! Not to mention, the outcome will impress one and all.
It is much like making notes and flashcards, little chits to remind yourself of the crucial things, the small details. This makes it easier for you to sort out through a sea of information that can otherwise be overwhelming. You will have to thoroughly read everything once, but with Mind Mapping, you can rely on your brain to remember as well!
Mind Mapping ensures that things and concepts follow in a series of patterns. The brain can easily comprehend this because it is similar to process of natural thinking where one thing leads to the other. Mind maps work efficiently with huge amounts of information as they are crisp.
Each idea links itself to the other and one can delve into information even with the simplest knowledge of these ideas! Mind mapping means saving time, calculating risks and better productivity! So stop fretting over your big presentation, because you can go mapping into vacation mode.
