Buzan’s Imindmap software; any good?

Who uses Buzan’s Imindmap?
People who understand what mind mapping really is. Most people haven’t got any idea of what mind mapping really is. The mind map rules are in place for a very specific reason: increasing your brain potential!. As soon as you leave out a few of the 10 rules, you’re basically killing a beautiful and very powerful technique. In all truth, this is what all other mind map software packages are selling; a product that looks like it’s a mind map software package, but isn’t at all. Imindmap IS mind mapping. It’s the closest to the real thing; drawing by hand. That’s why Tony Buzan is so positive about this software package and why he is giving testimonials to this software package. People realizing this will never ever buy anything else than Imindmap!.

Who doesn’t use Imindmap?
People who don’t know how to operate the software. There are actually still people who don’t like to operate a computer. Can you imagine that? People who are still fighting the digital age. I am afraid imindmap is not really invented for people like these.

Who does imindmap make happy?
People who have websites and want to make mind map oriented websites. Due to the fact that every mind map can be exported through the export function of this software package, you are capable of producing websites that look and respond like real mind maps. You can even automatically link child mind maps (pages) to the main page. Can you imagine what will happen, the moment all info will be presented in mind maps in the future?

Who does Imindmap make sad or angry?

Governments. Do you really think they will start to adapt immediately? No, for sure they won’t. They have their own way of change. First of all it needs to be very slowly!. They have to know everything for sure. Everything needs to be scientifically proven. Right after that we still need 7 more years in order to implement the knowledge. So basically, it will probably take 10 years before any change is noticeable. Do you really think our Governments will subsidize Imindmap software? If they start to do it, they actually say that whatever they’ve been doing is totally wrong. That’s something they would never say to society. But we can prove the government to be wrong by starting to use this software en masse. And the moment people start grading effortlessly, maybe, maybe somebody at the Government will start to notice and maybe in 10 years something will have changed.

The inauguration speech of Barack Obama was really historical. In my opinion it was a speech to be remembered. But I wonder, how many people really remember this speech.

That’s why I made a mind map out of the speech. Here is just one example of the mind map I made. It’s a small moviefile which explains (Barack Obama is explaining) how the mind map was build.

Is this mind map training really for free?

Yeah, some things still are free. So is this training!

Free mind map training is the only site in the world, offering a free mind map training.

I have reasons for doing this:

1. Personally I am a fanatic mind mapper. On a professional level I try to ‘infect’ others with my personal mind map virus. During my school time I had learned to really dislike studying. With mind mapping a new world opened up and I started to enjoy learning again. At the same time, through mind mapping I learned to structure my creative way of thinking better. This has helped me tremendously.

2. When you mind map the right way, you will notice that you didn’t even need to cramm at all. Your mind took it all in as a sponge as you can recall everything.
I am a huge fan of this technique. If you don’t know how your brain works, you are not able to excel. This method is one way of reaching your maximum potential. I think everybody should have that chance. The reason for this free training. As I am a Buzan licensed mind map instructor I am in a position of passing on my expertise to you.

I wish you like the info I provide and that it will have a positive impact on your life!

Throughout history people believe(d) that having a wide or extended vocabulary is thé key for academic and business success. Why? Because the size of one’s vocabulary is most of the times a reflection of the range of one’s knowledge. Besides that, a vocabulary is also a fundamental part within our language. In order to learn a new vocabulary it is handy and necessary to have systems ready in order to learn and remember the newly learned words. There are many roads that lead to Rome. But this ‘trick’is the most handy. Study all prefixes, suffixes and roots of the most commonly used ones.

More tips to increase your memorypower while learning new vocabulary of a language: Study how to use all commonly used prefixes, suffixes and roots. Try to use the Smashin scope as much as possible.(http://get-your.free-mind-map-training.com/smashin-scope.html In order to remember these, combine them with the rules of the smashin scope http://get-your.free-mind-map-training.com/smashin-scope.html)

2. Decide how many new words per day you are willing to learn. This only works if you really use the principle of retention (repetition). The sooner you start using these words in your normal daily life the easier and sooner they will stick.

Even when not learning, always be on the hunt for new words. What’s the reason behind this ‘order’ when you already apply tip nr. 2? New experiences will lead to more hooks or anchor moments which can be used to remember even more words.

If you want to learn, these tips can easily be applied. The real magic with remembering is and always will be association. This is a proven way of learning a new language almost effortlessly. Are you aware of the fact that many languages are actually families of eachother. This results in the fact that many words will sound similar, which you can use to your advantage.

In order to let the new information settle easily you have to realize that you are actually learning a new way of organizing and structuring the new information. By offering your brain many hooks or anchors you give it the chance to organize it in specific ways.

There is a way that not many people are aware of. This rule applies to every language in the world. Only 100 words (the most commonly used) will make up 50% of the language.

Beware that there is a big difference between most used words and most commonly written words. These lists vary a lot from eachother and should be kept apart, as there are big differencens between these.

By becoming more creative with the memory system and the smashin scope, memorisation can become easy and enjoyable. I love to think of how kids learn. Kids only need to open their eyes and they start absorbing as they are completely open to new information and are not afraid of making mistakes. Kids don’t mind repeating at all. Actually they love it. Repetition is predictability, which they want. They listen and look actively, make associations and try to copy as much as possible in order to control it as soon as possible.
