Mind Mapping A mind-blowing alternative to taking notes (endorsed by Bill Gates)

Mind Mapping? An alternative method of note-taking. It uses lots of color It uses quick draws/cartoons/graph ics It can be very creative (and can keep you engaged with boring material....)

This is a free form way of taking notes but there are a few rules:

1. Center is always the topic of the notes 2. Lines going out to sub-topics are always fat then narrow as they go out from the main topic 3. The subtopic lines are always labeled with text 4. Use pictures/drawings to engage and keep your interest

See if you can read the following mind map. What is the main topic? What are the sub topics?
