How the Top 1% Take Notes | Full Mindmap Guide

This is the ultimate mindmap tutorial. How I remember everything, take notes, and become an academic weapon.

I've been teaching students and learners how to mindmap for 4+ years. We've developed a system for it called TREE. It's a framework to create perfect notes and deeply retain everything.

🙏 Thanks for watching!

AI prompts to try:

To simplify complex concepts and clarify how they interconnect with other ideas: I’m having trouble understanding the concept of XX and how it relates to [other concepts]. Explain it to me in simple terms and then explain how it relates to these other concepts.

To visually organize and compare multiple concepts, highlighting similarities and differences: Create a table to compare and contrast XX, XX, XX. Then explain why the relationship between these concepts is important and how it helps me understand [big picture concept] as a whole.

To use familiar scenarios or ideas to explain complex concepts, making them more relatable: Create 3 analogies to explain the concept of XX to me from different perspectives. And then explain the strength of each analogy and the limitations of it.

To explore a concept from various angles, providing a more rounded and complete understanding:
You are an expert in XX topic. I just learned that XX is XX and relates to the concepts of XX in XX way. Give me other perspectives I can look at XX from to understand it’s relationship to other concepts.

To broaden the understanding of a concept by connecting it with additional, relevant ideas: I understand that the concept of XX is related to XX because of XX. Help me explore related concepts to XX that would create a more well rounded understanding of it and explain why.

love your videos but please put in timestamps😊

[christophersamson]

I’m an entrepreneur/marketer myself and I always wondered how learning how to learn could work for people like us and this video spoke volumes! Finally a video finally talking about how to apply it in business/marketing 🔥. So many concepts are so abstract this is an awesome video.

[tebogolerothodi]

[congdanhtran]

Awesome, thanks for your sharing. It's a click for me to understand.

[HenryRph]

Brother thank you so much for sharing this information! You have explained how to take a plethara general topic for a broad subject and break it down in a most understandable concise superb simple way of retaining information transforming oneself into an expert on any subject. you apply this method too. Kudos and God bless you brother Koi!

Could you try mindmapping a book on history? Historical events have so many causes and effects that make it difficult to map.

[abhirupbhakat]

I love your videos. It has helped me a lot for my studies.please try to give

[NuetaX]

When it comes to subjects to try, I would like to see techy topic or even math in this sort of concept. Like cybersecurity, it, networking, and so on. It would be beneficial especially since I find writing notes to be hard and doesn't work for me, but auditory stuff do.

[SenTusok]

Can you create content in applying this to Law school or legal concepts? Great video btw!

[johnnishore]

Loved the video! Which app do you use to draw the mind map?

[knw-seeker]

Great video

I wish you had a course solely on creating mind maps


Could make a mind map about a psychology subject?

[bazilkhan]

Cant find the promots in description, please update

[jeanpauldosher]

Loved the "Evaluation questions"! This is where connections are more than connections, there's a motive for that.

[muntahanazir]

Just what I was looking for, opened youtube and saw you guys posted this video.REALLY HELPFUL❤

[franziskak.]

Love the video guys!❤ Could you make a video about more mathematical concepts for exampe in thermodynamics? I‘m studying mech engineering right now and grasping concepts is a bit hard :/

[pakhi]

Plz teach numerical subjects like maths physics
