Draw a central image of "eating goods" first. Don't worry about painting badly or painting badly. You know, most people's painting level is similar to yours-my central image is drawn according to the pictures on the Internet. Even if the copy is not good, ugliness doesn't matter. No one else can see it anyway.
For the mind map of organizing ideas, when time is short or you are too lazy to write, you can use words instead of the central image, such as this one.
However, a map to assist memory is another matter, and the more beautiful the better. Although it may take a long time, the process of painting itself is a process of deepening memory.
Then the food to be cleaned extends outward from the central image with thick lines. The food I need to clean up is the black sesame stuffing left over from making Yuanxiao, pasta that is about to expire, cornflakes and jam. The richer the color of the lines, the better, and it is easier to stimulate imagination and creative interest. I choose to draw lines with the color of the food itself, which is suitable and saves brain cells.
Then it can be extended on the basis of first-class dishes. For example, spaghetti needs meat stuffing, and a salad should be prepared to go with spaghetti, so at the next level of spaghetti, I wrote down meat stuffing and salad. The lower the level, the thinner the lines and the smaller the font, so as to highlight the layering of the mind map.
By analogy, I also have different ideas about the remaining three foods. In the process of divergent thinking, the rule that is most easily overlooked and most difficult to follow is "one branch and one word". Using words instead of short sentences is more helpful to conceive ideas and analyze thinking. The more critical the problem, the more attention should be paid to expression. For example, I associate the word salad with tuna mashed potatoes, but when drawing, I have to break down the phrase into tuna and mashed potatoes. In this way, I can connect the two different flavors of tuna and black pepper through mashed potatoes, and avoid solidifying my thinking in the established mode.
In the process of divergent thinking, we will naturally think of the existing raw materials at home first. Only in this way can we make the best use of the ingredients at hand and ensure that the diet follows the principle of first in, first out.
After all, you can arrange your time according to the currently determined recipes. For example, Saturday's lunch is spaghetti and cabbage salad, and Sunday's breakfast is mashed eggs and dumplings. I mainly follow three principles in the arrangement of time, namely, schedule, family needs and food calories. For example, we have plans to go out on Saturday morning and arrange pasta and salad with shorter cooking time at noon. For the dishes that my husband likes to eat, the choice can be given to him, such as which meal to eat maocai and which meal to eat fish. I am only responsible for doing this. In terms of calories, I am used to following the principle of high in the morning and low in the evening. If I don't care about my weight, I can totally decide with my mood.
Through the arrangement of time, we can clearly find that the current menu can not meet the needs of two days on weekends. For example, you can't decide what to eat on Saturday night, and there is only one plate of meat gluten on Sunday night. So I continued to dig up the inventory at home and added curry and fish to the first level of the map.
After all the arrangements are made, circle the ingredients that are not at home, and you can immediately rush into the supermarket to shop.
Although mind mapping has become an indispensable tool in my work, I never thought about applying it to my daily life. It's nothing but trivial things. If this little thing is to be written on paper, it will be too much of a fuss. Now it seems that life is not as easy as I thought, but I lack a respect and love for life. If we don't calm down and draw a few strokes, my husband and I may have to repeat the scene of looking at each other before dinner. This is the wonderful thing about mind mapping. The process of painting is like walking a maze in the sulcus. You never know what will happen until the last moment.
This wonderful idea actually comes from the book Mind Map in Daily Life. The author Miyuki Ando is not only an authorized training lecturer of Tony Buzan, the founder of Mind Map, but also a Japanese woman. In addition to the "professionalism" that Japanese people generally have, Japanese women are naturally more delicate. Whether it is warehousing, handicrafts or other businesses that are not even business, they can find a set of subtle methods from day-to-day practice. Now they have brought home the mind maps commonly used by men and children in the workplace and school, which really studies home life to the extreme.
Probably related to the identity of training lecturers, the focus of Miyuki Ando is not on advanced drawing technology, but on how to help everyone take the first step. From the perspective of enlightenment, Miyuki Ando is definitely a good teacher. In order to relieve everyone's study pressure, she repeatedly emphasized in the book that as long as we draw a mind map with clear goals, we can adjust the drawing method on the basis of fully understanding the law. You know, in his book Mind Map, Tony Buzan listed four major items and 23 minor items of specific rules only for painting techniques and layout. It is not easy for people who are new to mind mapping to remember and apply all the rules at once. In contrast, Miyuki's method is much more flexible. For example, a picture can include multiple central images; The route of the guide map can not only be brought back, but also be intertwined with other routes; Even monochrome or incomplete maps are acceptable.
Mind mapping in daily life is not so much a book as a vivid case lesson. This book lists a large number of mind maps drawn by students. Each map is first introduced and explained by the students, and then the teacher, Miyuki Ando, comments on representative issues. Don't underestimate these seemingly simple comments, which are the essence extracted by Miyuki Ando through drawing and guiding massive maps. When Tony Buzan put forward the 3A (acceptance, application and adaptation) principle of mind mapping, he particularly emphasized that at least 100 mind maps should be drawn in the application stage. As the saying goes, "If you read a book a hundred times, its meaning will show itself." Although teachers can't replace you, targeted guidance and necessary feedback in the book will definitely make learning more effective.
When it comes to the use of mind maps, it is even more numerous. For me, mind mapping is the simplest personal management tool. Not only can you review the past (memo) and look forward to the future (plan), but you can also talk to your subconscious and discover your unknown self. For family members, mind mapping can maintain close relationship (cooperation) and reduce barriers and misunderstandings (communication). In education, mind mapping can help children to establish a learning system (memory) and improve their thinking ability (logic). In terms of work, mind mapping can build an information platform (* * * enjoyment) and assist brainstorming (innovation) ... It is no exaggeration to say that there is no mind mapping, only what you can't think of and can't do.
Compared with traditional hand-painting, mindmanager seems to be more popular with everyone at present. Software drawing does have the advantages of quick entry and high efficiency, but it also inhibits the need for everyone to learn drawing rules systematically. Tony Buzan and Ando Miyuki encouraged everyone to form their own map style. However, adaptation is based on acceptance, as Miyuki Ando said in his book, "Drawing mind maps is the same as playing games. You can be free by setting and abiding by certain rules. " Many authors who use mindmanager on the Internet obviously don't have the basic knowledge of mind mapping. They are not only the same in form, but also have taboos such as no central image and sentences written on branches. This kind of braced mind map not only looks boring, but also has to be greatly reduced in memory effect. Instead of groping around, it is better to spend an hour or two learning the basic principles and make more friends fall in love with your mind map.
