Mind Mapping is a technique that produces ideas by association and has been my go-to method for a while. I use it to map out my thoughts whenever I approach a project or when I need to confirm the logic or steps of something. Tony Buzan popularised the mind mapping technique back in 1974 and introduced his readers to mind maps.

A 2005 study by Glennis Edge Cunningham, asserts that 80 per cent of students reported better learning through mind maps. So I must be doing something right.
