What is a Mind Map Template? First we have to know what a mind map template actually is. A good idea! Don't worry, I've got you covered! The Free Mind Map Templates you can download and use Below are the templates you can use for your work, study or personal projects.
Here is a list of the mind map templates Business Mind Map Templates. The Strategy Mind Map Template. The Presentations and Writing Template. Let's start with a simple template. A mind map with your to-do list. Here's how you use this map: Add all the things you want, should, have to do under "everything" in the map.
Select a maximum of 3 tasks from your list and add them to the right-hand side under the "today" node. This is what you only have to do today. Start working on your top 3 tasks of the day. You can roll-up the "everything" branch so you don't have to look at the other items. Know they are still safe where you left them.
Only focus on the top 3. The Communications Template. Fill in the times you read your email and other messages. I suggest reading your email twice a day. Batch process your messages as much as possible. Install a website blocker that allows you to use these tools during small windows during the day Refine the times when needed and simplify your messaging.
You educate others how often they can contact you by the way you connect with them. The Daily Work Routines Template. This is how this template helps you: Pick the most important tasks you can think of.
This is the stuff that helps you move forward. These tasks are the only thing that should be done right now so no social media distractions Work on your tasks, don't do anything else. Do this early in the morning. No talk, just work.
After doing this, you have time for other things. Only after you did your M. Not before or during!!! Determine what you have to do after lunch, before you have lunch. At the end of the day you determine what you have to do tomorrow morning. Write that on a sticky note and put it on your desk. This way you don't have to think about it in the morning.
The Planning Template. Find out what your big goal is for the next X months or years Work your way back and create monthly milestones or steps. Write them in your map. So in month 1 I achieve and do this, in month 2 I do this, etc. Move back further. For the first month, create weekly goals, and then look at what you have to do on a daily basis.
This daily action list is often just a couple of things for me it is reading and writing If possible, you can create habits from your actions for me, I created the habit of reading 20 pages and then use the things I read to create a summary and action list to implement what I learned. The Meetings Template. The only problem was that we had to take turn in taking notes Had I only known about mind mapping. It would have been so much easier that way Not just the planning and preparation, but also writing the meeting minutes!
This simple template helps you to take care of you next meeting. You probably start by changing the central idea. Change this to the name or date of the meeting. Fill in the things you want to say when welcoming the people attending the meeting.
Add topics to the map. If you know it already, add action points that people have to work on after the meeting. When this is something that is decided upon during the meeting, fill this in later. Create a list of people who should attend the meeting.
I suggest you create a blank email already with their email addresses so you are prepared to send them the invitation and the map of the meeting. When you map is ready, export it to an image and email the invitation to the people you invite. After that, you can remind people just before the meeting that the meeting starts in X hours. Make sure your meeting room is ready. There is a projector for showing the map or use a laptop for yourself only.
Add other items that you have to take care of to the list when you miss them. During your meeting, you can take notes in your mind mapping software tool.
I use a central image that should be replaced with your company logo. This is the easiest way to make something this powerful so personal for your company. TIP: Make sure you use your own brand colors to make it you company's map! This is not your average mind map!!! The central idea of this map is that you outline your long term vision and objectives in a simple balanced design. This is probably not a map that gets changed too often. The strategy map only has one branch.
This is done on purpose. Your company has one vision. All the goals and all the project management you do is to support your vision. Your growth strategy is determined by the vision.
Change the vision into your company's vision Add all the supporting ideas or goals that move you towards realizing your vision. You can change the colors of the sub-branches to match your brand colors as well.
For example, goals from one department have a particular color. Or each of your solutions has a specific color that you add to the map. Start by determining what you goal for the day will be. This is important! Make it not too big. You can always do more. Every day trying to achieve a nearly impossible goal is not really motivating! Start with studying 5 or perhaps 10 pages per day. And then see what happens next. Determine what you will do during the morning.
This could be reading a summary, taking some notes, or something else that is small and easy to do. Then during the day, you dive in a little deeper. In the evening, when most of the work might already be done, you dive in even deeper.
A quick 20 to 30 minute session is probably enough. At the end, you journal about what you did, what you should have done, how to do more or better next time.
Perhaps you feel that as well. Here we go with your presentation template or mind map writing template. First, you decide which tool you will use to create your presentation in. I usually use a text editor or Google Docs file for my writing. When I have to write a lot or when I create a presentation, I simply use my mind mapping tool. Start with writing the introduction. Talk about who will benefit from this, why they should read this or listen to you, and tell them what you will talk or write about.
Then you choose one of the 4 outlines shown in the map. For example you work with outline 2. You write about the theory of your topic. You give facts and numbers. Then you connect this to your audience their lives. Tell them how they can use this. How they benefit from it. Give examples and help them to achieve the desired situation After that you summarize what you told them and give them an action point of what they should be doing next.
Start small and build from there. The Memorizing Template. Most people don't forget things. They just fail to memorize them! Here is a template to give more structure to memorizing information. Start by preparing your materials. Did you create a mind map? Use that for memorizing the information. You can also take notes on videos or use good old fashioned linear notes of course. What is the best technique you can use? It is associating pieces of your mind map, or do you use a memory palace?
Do you write an article about what you learned to make it stick in your mind? All things that can work. Decide what method you will be using! After you did your memorization session, you rehearse. You use spaced repetition. Go through your memorized information the next day, three days later, one week later, etc.
Understand what you forgot and imprint this in your mind better. The Summarize Books Template. How do you summarize your books and articles right now? Do you just "wing it"? Perhaps it is better if you start using a system to do this. Here is one you can use in this mind mapping template. As with all things, it is important you understand why you want to put in the effort for this task. Why do you want to summarize this book? Will you simply summarize the book, or even use the map to memorize the content of the book?
The next step is determining where you summarize the book on. Is this on paper, your computer, in an app?
Then you decide what the method for summarizing will be. Is it your own method that you've used all of your life? Or perhaps you use a tool to summarize a digital book? Or you use the method I teach in the Studying with mind maps course?
After you created the map or summary, highlight the most important aspects of the summary. This will focus your mind. Is also helps you to think about the content. Your mind will go through the information and try to connect concepts and pieces of information. This will help you in memorizing it later on if you want. As a final step, you can write an article about the summary! You go from being a student, reader and person who summarizes to a teacher writing about the information.
There are so many things we do every day that are routines. Only when we run into some obstacles when using these routines, we have to think. This way you will be prepared for setbacks and problems! I outlined a couple of simple routines that you may recognize. The Weight Loss Template. We all know about weight loss. Eat less calories than you burn. Exercise for more fitness.
But making sure you actually do this might be more difficult. The Personal Growth Template.
