It\u2019s simple to learn and use, too.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why today, I want to discuss\u00a0how you can leverage the power of mind mapping to achieve your goals and succeed at anything you choose!<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Try Mind Mapping<\/h2>\n<p>Are you ever daunted by the question of where to begin? You\u2019ve set a goal and know it\u2019s the right path for you to take, but the steps you need to take are not fully clear and in no particular order.<\/p>\n<p>Where should you start when everything seems equally important? You could certainly <a href=\"https:\/\/jackcanfield.com\/blog\/goal-sharing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">talk to others<\/a> who have pursued the same goal, buy a how-to book, or begin to learn the skills you think you need.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve been in that spot before and know exactly what you might be feeling.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve found one technique that helps me carve out the key steps to take and get all that thinking out of my head and other paper. I\u2019ve created books and many products by using mind mapping.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Mind Mapping?<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.magneticmemorymethod.com\/tony-buzan-mind-map-mastery\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Tony Buzan (opens in a new tab)\">Tony Buzan<\/a>, an English writer and consultant, created the mind mapping technique. He was inspired by Da Vinci and Einstein among others.<\/p>\n<p>Mind mapping creates a visual display of information. It details the relationships between different components and can be drawn by hand or by using software programs.<\/p>\n<p>By using mind mapping, you can take that core goal you want to achieve and flesh out answers to key questions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What information do you need to collect?<\/li>\n<li>Who will you need to talk to? What are the small steps you need to take?<\/li>\n<li>How much money will you need?<\/li>\n<li>What deadlines do I need to meet?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It all starts with a central topic, idea, or goal drawn in the center of the page.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How to Leverage &#039;Mind Mapping&#039; | Jack Canfield\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EPgzhQeTp_k?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chunking it Down<\/h2>\n<p>My first educational program started with an idea and a <a href=\"https:\/\/jackcanfield.com\/blog\/how-to-create-an-empowering-vision-book\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">vision of what I wanted<\/a> to achieve. It did not emerge fully formed, however.<\/p>\n<p>Mind mapping allowed me to \u201cchunk down\u201d by getting started on the work I knew needed to be done. I was able to <a href=\"https:\/\/jackcanfield.com\/blog\/big-changes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">break down<\/a> that very large goal into the individual tasks that would need to be completed.<\/p>\n<p>It started with that big idea in the center of the page: \u201cCreate an Educational Audio Program.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Next, I created offshoots that included audience, packaging, title, music, money, budget, graphics, studio, topics and even props.<\/p>\n<p>From there, action items emerged for each offshoot. My plan was finally, clearly in front of me and I could begin working on the most urgent chunks.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2321\" height=\"1348\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-fjlpd.nitrocdn.com\/qNLDYhMdoYzQyKYAhBzBEJiGniyfTRXZ\/assets\/images\/optimized\/rev-da9f217\/webserver-assets-jackcanfield.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Screen-Shot-2020-08-12-at-11.27.54-AM.png\" class=\"wp-image-25129 nitro-lazy\" decoding=\"async\" nitro-lazy-empty=\"\" id=\"NDU0OjI0Nw==-1\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Small Steps Make Big Changes | Jack Canfield\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QllaabbFTm0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>With your map in hand, you can begin to tackle the project, one chunk at a time. Here is a suggested path forward:<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Create a Daily Schedule<\/h3>\n<p>Convert your to-do items into daily scheduled tasks and be sure to do what\u2019s needed to keep yourself on track.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Focus on What Matters<\/h3>\n<p>Determine which tasks are the most important first. Often these are not the easiest or most pleasant tasks, but when you complete them, especially early in the day, you can give yourself a big pat on the back.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Plan Your Day<\/h3>\n<p>Plan each day the night before. Spend a few minutes creating that to-do list and <a href=\"https:\/\/jackcanfield.com\/blog\/visualization-and-motivation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">visualizing<\/a> how you want the day to go.\u00a0 You can even <a href=\"https:\/\/jackcanfield.com\/blog\/how-to-meditate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">meditate<\/a> on this list to get even more prepared for the day tomorrow.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Use the Achievers Focusing System<\/h3>\n<p>This approach, developed by Les Hewitt, gives you a one-page guide to listing your goals and charting your progress.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How to Follow Through On Your Goals | Jack Canfield\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VubaoFw86WI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mind Map Components<\/h2>\n<p>At its core, a mind map has three simple components.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. A Center Circle<\/h3>\n<p>This is where you put your goal.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Outside Circles<\/h3>\n<p>Divide your goal into major tasks and categories. These are the areas you\u2019ll need to address in order to achieve the central goal.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Spokes<\/h3>\n<p>Draw spokes poking out from each outside circle. This is where you lay out the tasks you need to complete. You can break these down even further with action items to be completed.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Mind Mapping Works<\/h2>\n<p>Mind mapping works because it taps into all the knowledge, instincts and insights that are stored in our gray matter. One of the reasons mind mapping is so effective because it gives you a clear pathway.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Benefits of Mind Mapping<\/h2>\n<p>Mind mapping gives you the path ahead laid out in broad daylight. It also creates structure.<\/p>\n<p>Our minds can bombard us with lots of information that often seems disjointed. The mind map structures and stores vast amounts of information, shows relationships and gives you a 30,000-foot view of the issue.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Boosts Creativity<\/h3>\n<p>Creating the mind map stimulates your brain and gets your creative juices flowing.<\/p>\n<p>A mind map is also a great tool to show your ideas to others and ask for <a href=\"https:\/\/jackcanfield.com\/blog\/how-to-receive-feedback\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">feedback<\/a> and insights.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Boosts Memory<\/h3>\n<p>With images, colors and mapped relationships in place, you\u2019ll have far better recall than jotting notes alone.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Boosts Productivity<\/h3>\n<p>Finally, you\u2019ll be more productive when you use a mind map. You and others will understand the concepts and needs in clear detail. You\u2019ll learn faster and save time by focusing on what you\u2019ve mapped.<\/p>\n<p>We all want to meet our <a href=\"https:\/\/jackcanfield.com\/blog\/follow-through\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">goals<\/a>. Using the mind mapping technique is an effective way to break your big tasks into manageable ones and achieve success.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d like to hear your thoughts after reading this blog. <strong>Have you ever tried mind mapping for a project?
