Hi Justin. Kind request. Please take a topic. Say 3-4 pgs. Go through it infront of us. Follow the whole process. So, we could also read the same and experience your process start to end. The video might get lengthier but I feel we could understand clearly and gain a lot more out of that. Thanks a ton!

My Key Takeaways:

🧠 Turn your mind maps into a mind mirror: Use mind mapping not just for note-taking but to reflect your thought process and understanding. This approach helps in identifying knowledge gaps and understanding concepts more deeply.

🔄 Never get it right on your first try: Approach mind mapping with the understanding that your first attempt won't be perfect. Iteratively refine your map, allowing it to evolve as your understanding deepens.

🔄 Never start organizing your ideas the same way it is presented to you: Avoid framing bias by reorganizing the information in a way that makes the most sense to you, rather than sticking to the original presentation format. This encourages deeper understanding and creativity in learning.

🗣 Integrate the Feynman Technique: Simplify complex terms and concepts into language that a 10-year-old could understand. This not only deepens your understanding but also aids in quicker review and retention of information.

My gosh, why are ppl so negative in the chat? I’m just grateful someone is speaking on something that truly resonates w my style of learning and he is brave enough to share some of his insights w us. He actually has a business doing this, and so if you really feel his free content is not detailed enough, there is opportunity to purchase his course, and it’s not even a steep price. I just feel for the content creator bc you can literally show people a new and better way of doing things and they just jump down his throat bc it’s not delivered exactly in the way they want it to be. Some ppl just love to complain and be negative. Addicted to it. Too much free content here to change your life to at least make your studying habits 2x better… all for free. Some ppl need to check themselves smh.

This is pure gold. Thank you for sharing!!

14:00 you saved me from committing the mistake of forcing the organizational structure of examiner in order to make my own mind map

[noelvn]

Thank you! This is the mind mapping tutorial I’ve been looking for all along!! I can now see how my detail-oriented and perfectionistic qualities have held back potentials to develop and refine my understanding when mind-mapping.

[ahmadfaisal]

Justin, you have shared a goldmine of insights in this video. Keep it up! Thank you for your time and effort. The day is near when I'll be able to buy your courses and benefit from them.

Secret 3, the different thinking frameworks used to explore topics is a really interesting idea! I would love to see a video just dedicated to exploring this idea for different topics(math, physics, languages, etc) 🔥

[jackmstephens]

Thank god I found this channel literally the week I started learning Japanese [well, Hirigana and Katakana..for now]. The few videos I've watched have helped me visualize and better map out what I want from my lesson plans and how to tackle them in the next few months.

[spillledcarryout]

Thanks so much Justin! I have loved mind maps for years but your advice really lets me take it to the next level. I am giving a major speech and it helped gain a world of confidence from just feeling the command over the key topics covered and their relationships to provide solid meaning.

[arturaras]

AGAIN AND AGAIN. Thank you for your ideas. I see that i did the same mistakes as you. But also same experience and conclusions. You really have a deep impact on my learning and thinking.

[aceshigh]

i want to thank you for making so many different videos on mind mapping. my parents heavily shamed me for wanting to make/use them, so i stopped doing it. then when i tried to get back into them, i had panic attacks and couldn't do them. your videos normalize using mind maps and it's really really nice to be validated. my parents have a lot of weird and in some cases harmful beliefs... but i digress. thank you again!

[marianaecheverri]

What an amazing video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[AnandaGarden]

Love this. Reminds me of Seymour Papert (MIT Media Lab prof, co-inventor of the Logo language) on the value of kids learning to program: it teaches them "a debugging approach to life." At age 82 and a writer/editor for 52 years, the most valuable lesson I've learned is the wonderful value of the SFD (s**tty first draft). This talk was inspiring. As a word nerd I'm inhaling all the info I can get from you on non-linear scribbling to clarify info and inspirations.

Secret 1: First Put your ideas and relationship in a mind map and then try to organize them when your learning level will be better.

[madeleyvel]

I learned it the hard way, there are the things you should not do and thing you must do, Justin explained them really well, I watched and rewatched the long videos of encoding and mind mapping and they really helped me to improve my mind maps .

[safsaf]

Love the mind mapping content!! 👌Additional real-life examples and specific subjects would be helpful as well

[jorgesanabria]

Thank you! I have incorporated mind maps with iPad but still making many mistakes. It’s still an improvement for sure in terms of increasing cognitive load and using delayed note taking, condensed notes etc etc
