Creating a mind-map
 Start with a central idea.
 Draw at least 4 branches radiating outwards from
    the central image.
   Write “key topic” words along these branches.
   Draw additional branches that extend from your
    main branches. The words on these branches are
    essentially sub-topics of the words you wrote on
    your main branches.
   Keep expanding the Mind Map outwards with
    additional sub sub-topics / key words and
    branches.
   Interlink the branches/nodes with each other
    whenever an association exists.

 ―…advanced software can help us slice and dice information in ways
    that were impossible only a decade ago. But while we‘ve gone a long way
    towards optimizing how we use information, we haven‘t yet done the
    same for knowledge…
    OneNote and a new generation of ‗mind-mapping‘ software can be used
    as a digital ‗blank slate‘ to help connect and synthesize ideas and data—
    and ultimately create new knowledge.‖ – Bill Gates, Newsweek, (2009)

                                                                 * InnovationTools.com, Dec.2009
