The Ultimate Guide to the PERFECT Mindmap (6-Step Checklist)

[@dariaburciu8123]

OMG IVE BEEN WAITING FOR AN YEAR FOR THIS ONE GOD IM SO EXCITED

[@ArcherNewton]

Hehe - yep it’s finally here :)

[@RameshKumar-ng3nf]

l learned a lot from you & Justin on study tips. You are a great teacher explains so nicely 👌Easy to understand .

[@PasserbyP]

I'd really love to see someone functioning at a higher mathematical level applying mind mapping and relevant ideas discussed in this genre if any knows any. Thanks for this guide and for showing how someone applies these ideas in so many settings!

[@syed.mohammad.hasnain]

you've been helping us a lot lately, honestly, thank you for this and im glad to see your channel growing and that you guys are getting more recognition.

[@ArcherNewton]

I'm really glad to hear! Thank you so much for your support!

[@Mmj_lh]

Thank you so much archer, that really helped me a lot! ❤❤

[@ArcherNewton]

You're so welcome!

[@sonicmaths8285]

this guide is awesome and helped me tremendously improving my mind maps. I mean, I didn't understand the role intention was playing in the mind map creation process, which makes creating one so much easier! Thank you

[@syed.mohammad.hasnain]

Thank you for this

[@ArcherNewton]

You're welcome!

[@tomkwai]

This video really saved me. Thank you, Archer.

[@ArcherNewton]

Glad it helped!

[@jeongsungmin2023]

Archer mate this is a godsend. I've been taking a break from iCS so my skills were a bit rusty, had a go at MMs today before watching this video so that I could prime myself. Could understand and apply everything you said. Cheers

[@Ahmed_Dr]

Thanks a lot! IMO, You really nailed the explanation with simplicity more than popular youtubers that I know

[@ArcherNewton]

Glad it was helpful!!!! Thank you so much!

[@Rosannasfriend]

Thanks

[@excusemeum]

Thank you Archer!

[@larahporter8123]

Very helpful. I am also reading the book 'Mind Map Mastery' by Tony Buzan and I find the combination of the two very inspiring. I think I can start drawing some mind maps now that would actually help.

[@shreyashijha21]

i m from India preparing for neet UG ( pre medical entrance exams) . If i learned any topic how to revise them effectively for tests and on what interval of time ? There r so many chs which i will be learning like 80 chs then how to revise..???

[@rukarula]

bro really made this after a 3 year wait AFTER I QUIT trying to do good in school

[@rudradipdhar4338]

Can we do it for history...I generally group them on timline basis..and then interconnect the ideas...bt for history mindmap becomes hard for me

[@toriigatedigital]

Are you not with Ican study anymore?

[@oraki9135]

Thanks again Archer Newton ❤ now I feel like I understand this ( learning system stuff ) I thought that just need to rote memorize, active recall, space repetition and all but I didn’t know this until now. Maybe this is how high achiever because they have the mindset and intention on using this information? I didn’t know myself on how to process the learning system, because of the ( keep using active recall, space repetition, and past paper, etc and all that ) but it doesn’t give much benefit of retrieval and when the curveball question came in, I know I am doom. Anyway this is helpful on my new perspective on learning which is “make mistakes and learn from them and keep learning” I think? And thank you again honestly 🙏🫡🙏🇰🇭

[@ArcherNewton]

This is such a great read and perspective to have, great work! Really happy for you :)

ALL THE WAITING WAS WORTH IT, I KNEW YOU WOULD RELEASE IT ONE DAY!! Congratulations 🎉 and thank you for the hard work

[@ArcherNewton]

hahaha - it's finally here!

[@grzegorzrzepkowski6078]

What do you do after creating a mindmap? Sometimes it's required to memorize lots of facts or hard names like different enzymes etc. Even if you create the best mind map you can't escape from forgetting curve.

[@IshrakIfti]

That is something that you would put into your flashcards.

[@Tue4277]

Enzymes are usually named based on the reaction that they catalyze, like hexokinase in glucose to G6P. In this reaction, "hexo-" means hexose, or glucose in this case, and "-kinase" is indicative of a phosphorylation reaction involving ATP. Just break 'em down, and it will be really easy to understand. You can notice this relationship when you break the word down during the mind mapping process, which I did during my biochemistry class. And you can easily see the relationship start showing up like the one I mentioned.

[@ArcherNewton]

@dat4277’s breakdown is great! That’s definitely what you want to do. And to @Ishraklfti’s point, you would chuck those things into a flashcard

[@samtheham3187]

The long awaited mindmap video haha. Hope you're doing well Archer

[@ArcherNewton]

Hope you are too man!!

[@julian_wln]

Very valuable guide!

[@ArcherNewton]

Thank you!

[@dre7256]

This is literally the best video of all time

[@ghostydoc5660]

You state that mindmaps are only really for big concepts and not details. I feel like details are really important and there are so so many of them that you need to understand, its not too hard to understand big concepts in a topic deeply, but if you don't know enough details, personally i struggle a lot with questions. How might you note take for details in a topic? I know you said flashcards but i feel they can only be used for really fine details as if you use them for all the details in a topic, the system would become very unsustainable. Thanks.

[@knw-seeker6836]

Would such a mind map be beneficial first subjects like psychology where a lot of detail/facts have to be memorised or known

[@ArcherNewton]

Subjects like biology and psychology work great with a technique like this. When we’re able to more deeply understand why a concept or definition is the way it is, the memorisation comes naturally rather than having to be rote learnt which puts it at far greater risk of being misremembered later

[@willylmao]

Lets gooooooo

[@ArcherNewton]

Woo!

[@mmohsin9]

which app are you building this on?

[@DavidFerguson-jz6mx]

low key, bro just loosely explained how an ADHD mind works

[@davidsalazar8035]

This seems perfect to establish relationships between concepts an learn how they interact with eachother in a broader way. However, in some classes (I'm in Electrical Engineering, so I'm talking from my own experience) I need to lear and remeber certain definitions (sometimes long ones), graphs, equations and their respective mathematical proofs, and I've always struggled to put all of this in a mind map where all topics seem to be reduced to a few words or sketches. Is there a way to satisfy all of these needs and "requirements" in a mind map like the one you presented? Great work, btw!

[@Catholicguy-qs3ng]

I don't know if this helps but in the comment section in Justin sung's video , a man said that he got his first clear mindmap after he stop trying to deeply know the definitions of keywords But instead focus on the Flow of the keywords according to our logic 👍

[@davidsalazar8035]

@@Catholicguy-qs3ng Thanks, man. While I think that migtht not be true 100% of the cases, I agree with you that its very important for the relation between the concepts to be very clear in our minds.

[@Catholicguy-qs3ng]

@@davidsalazar8035 Welcome 👍

[@sonicmaths8285]

you usually would outsource such things to flashcards, because a mind map should only encapsulate the most important concepts so that it allows you to logically reason within a subject through the big picture. A big picture never has details since they are irrelevant to the big pic. It isn't intended for mapping out (complex) details I'm a computer science student and I use mind maps to categorize topics as much as possible. My mind map for operating systems allows me to understand the crude structure under which operating systems work and how they do, for example, mine has only four levels, the hardware-level which has the von-Neumann architecture with the CPU and RAM, while the other category are I/O-Devices; a a Kernel-level which has concepts (!) about the Kernel and what it does; an application-level, which has concepts (not details!) of application categories (!); and the last level is the user-level where rights are mapped out, broadly. Your mind maps should look like binary trees (but could also have 3 bullet points under one category), talking in data structures and not in concrete code (haha, what an interesting analogy...) For mathematics, I did brake real analysis 1 into two categories down. The intention was to show what properties functions have and how to analyze them (what tools approx. exist). So, it starts with f (of which you should know what it is implicitly; not explicitly on the map) and goes to I (for intervall since a lot of properties are given on intervalls or depend on them like Riemann-integrability or differentiability) and analytic operators like limit, differentiation and integration, etc. Summary: you basically map out the logic between categories and the most important concepts under the purpose you have decided upon. That's what mind maps are for. You think too much in terms of (complex) details that are unnecessary for the big picture!

[@johnpatricknario3058]

​@@sonicmaths8285 is there like an ideal mindmap : flashcard ratio? like I would like to get more out of the mindmap and I worry that there might be too many flashcards.

[@user-zr7er8vw8l]

I tried doing mind maps for medical topics. However, how do you revise a mind map? do you try to remember the map itself so that you can technically reproduce it? or is it just meant to be created in a way, you never need to go over the topic again because you learnt it so well?..

[@denizenhugger9937]

I think redoing it several times where you can find connections that you previously didn’t make before and then make sure you make questions to make sure you know the connections.

[@gracecar5820]

I am no expert. But I think you should interleave it. Draw it once, maybe talk through it next, teach the concept next. I wouldn’t redraw a mindmap unless I was changing the perspective like fitting it in with new concepts. But not sure what the guy would say. Redrawing mindmaps that are good seems like wasted time.

[@Llkk4680]

You can revise the connections between 2 or more elements, trying to remember why they are connected. Also you can do interleaving and try to see different combination between elements, other forms of mapping that make sense. Just for doing this you will be able to remember more content, because you did a reflection about the content. (Sorry about my english, im not fluent yet)

[@Umarepistemix]

Archer, my mentor 🎉

[@ArcherNewton]

❤️

One of the most helpful videos on mind mapping (rather chunk mapping). The examples at the end are the best part! I have a question though. Once I've made a chunk map how do I revise using that chuck map? Do I review it and memorise the parts that I have forgotten? Or is there another way? I know from the interleaving table that chunk maps can be used to revise Declarative knowledge. But I get confused about HOW to use them for revision of Declarative knowledge (like Business Law content)?

[@levelup2014]

Is Justin ok with you using his premium content for free? This seems unethical

[@王沛元]

This is not as same in the course ok, it looks like just a modification by Archer for YT audience

[@ArcherNewton]

[@deelakasuraweera4086]

Hey archer, Love your videos mate. Just had a question regarding the 'Intention' part. I'm studying mostly maths and computer science units and I'm struggling to set the intention for most mind maps I create as the purpose is not quite clear. Do you have any tips on setting the intention?

[@VikramSingh-mk8ys]

can u do a mindmap about how to become a narcisistic, destroy ur ex girlfriend and leaving medicine?

[@ArcherNewton]

Ouch!

No problem!

[@naakatube]

AS A MATHEMATICIAN, LOOKING AT THE VECTOR MAP, I CAN SAY THE GUY UNDERSTOOD NOTHING ABOUT LINEAR ALGEBRA 😂😂😂

[@Catholicguy-qs3ng]

That's because he is beginning with the Relevant ideas first and then building upon it He can later evaluate the relationships and ask Higher order questions to learn it correctly 👍👍

[@smass3843]

Was worth it especially how you gave a perspective on Mathematics.

[@salomimathew4811]

[@jayjayschannel6062]

Free mindmaps is used by you seem awesome. May i know its app name?

[@AnaMaymunah-cl5mw]

I want to know also

[@excusemeum]

its the app called concepts

[@nelsonphillips]

To take this mind mapping a step further and make it more relatable you could use a graphical interface for the first layer of abstraction. For example, in music you can centre the instrument and build inputs and outputs. Though the instrument may not be the centre as it is the outcome of the written score.... finance it can be the utility function for supply and demand, if you're selling icecream. This is just a level beyond just critical thinking and starts build creativity into the process, I do know that this isn't what your channel is. Abstraction is basically what you are doing but I guess there is another level and this is what your channel is about, leveling up..... something something. In the end the biggest driver of intelligence is culture, art basically.

[@Chinekeh]

This was very good. One of these days I will be able to get it. My mind maps are trash

[@PcMG444]

this is THE mindmap video to watch, so much thanks Archer!! subscribed🙏

[@plk213]

When making a mind map for science textbook should I do one mindmap per chapter or one mindmap tor the whole book

[@sonicmaths8285]

for the whole book. I mind mapped out for example books like "Understanding Analysis" from Stephen Abbott, "Linear Algebra done Right" from Sheldon Axler and Gilbert Strang's linear algebra book and it worked out just fine The problem with science books is that they are inherently deep regarding their concepts, therefore are hard to break down, since it requires a lot of cognitive capacity to understand the concepts deeply and correctly map them out, but it certainly can be done within decently big mind map.

[@longboarderanonymous5718]

This is excellent! Your explanations and steps are very good.

[@Catholicguy-qs3ng]

Hey Archer I have watched several of Justin sung's video and in his videos he talks about reading the parts that are relevant I have learned that we must have an intention while learning so that we can relate what we have learned back to the prior idea i have about the intention and only consolidate the information i believed to be Relevant to my prior knowledge Eg, i have 12 chapters worth of content about electricity, magnetism and waves So my intention to read will be " transfer of energy (electricity) as waves and it's physical influence" and I'll read the parts which are low effort by using Non linear note taking for tracking my thoughts and Order control taught by Justin Am i correct?

[@ArcherNewton]

Yes! Definitely!
