?I believe that after reading a book, many friends will feel that they have not remembered anything. If after a period of time, they will feel that they have basically forgotten it. I was deeply troubled, but after I learned mind mapping, I solved this problem. My mind mapping teacher told me a simple method, that is, after I read a book, I draw a mind map on A4 paper and record what I think is the most exciting sentence in the book. the back of the mind map, and then tuck the piece of paper into the book. Remember to only remember the most important sentence in each book. Don't be greedy for more. It is enough to remember one sentence that can be used frequently. For example, I drew a mind map after reading the first chapter of "Departure". I didn't record the sentences on the back of the paper, but I remembered a story, which is where I drew the red heart. This The story is about a housewife who was reluctant to throw away the plastic spoons that came with supermarket lunch boxes. The kitchen was already full of such spoons. Asked the housewife why she kept these spoons, she said they were for convenience when going on picnics. Why not use stainless steel spoons during picnics? It can be seen from this that the housewife subconsciously feels that she is suitable to use cheap things, and she does not deserve to use good tableware. Although I only wrote the word "proportion" as the keyword, this story is deeply etched in my mind. Then I may only remember this story for the whole chapter or even the whole book. The story I remember is valid for me. It is better than being unable to tell anything when others ask me. ?

How to use mind mapping to take reading notes? There are four steps in total. ?
?First, draw a central picture. The central picture is the image of the title of the book. Of course, we do not have to use the author’s title to draw the central picture. You can also Draw the central picture based on your own ideas after reading. Remember to use more than three colors so that the pattern is obvious and the memory is deep. ?
?Second, draw branches. When drawing a mind map for a book, I recommend reading it once and drawing a mind map after reading it the second time. This will facilitate branch layout. Then some friends will say that the branch layout can be carried out according to the directory, and you can draw it while looking at it. But my suggestion is that after reading the entire book, think about it and organize it in your mind before starting to draw branches. Some parts of the book are really not necessarily what we think it is necessary to remember, or there are some parts where we simply disagree with the author. Of course, the point of view does not need to be displayed in the mind map, then we can layout the branches without following the directory. ?
? The third is to fill in the keywords. Fill in the key keywords of each part into the branches and try to capture the words as much as possible. Extracting keywords is the most difficult part of the mind mapping process. Some friends always feel that they cannot remember it unless they write the entire sentence. So how to effectively extract keywords can only be mastered through more practice. When it comes to filling in keywords, I feel that I need to read the entire book before drawing a mind map. This is because only after reading them all and thinking and sorting them out in our minds before we start drawing can we train our brains' independent thinking and understanding abilities, rather than being completely dependent on the author's ideas. Suppose you are drawing a mind map while reading. Since your mind does not understand the following content, it is easy to grab too many secondary keywords and write them down. The mind map will become complicated, and the non-key parts will also be forgotten. Write it down. In this case, mind mapping loses its meaning. ?
?Finally, draw the key diagram. The function of the key map is to express the key words that you think are important in the form of patterns, so you can draw the important parts with patterns that you think are appropriate, so that you can know the key points and difficulties the next time you look at this mind map. . Everyone should remember that the color of the key diagram should not be the same as the color of the branches. If they are the same, it will become less obvious and the meaning of drawing will be lost. ?
? Now I will share my approach to the problems that are likely to occur in drawing.
?
? 1. Many friends will ask, what should I do if some books contain too much content and I can’t fit in one mind map? My suggestion is to draw it into 2 or more sheets, like the mind map of "One-day Learning Method". I can't draw it in one, so I divided it into two sheets and marked them in the center picture. ?
2. Some tables or graphics in some books are particularly important. Can they be drawn in a mind map? Of course, this is possible. When I drew the mind map of the book "Platform Strategy", I drew the table on it, as long as the layout is reasonable. ?
? 3. How to choose keywords? I really have no better way to do this, only the stupid way, that is, practice often so that you can choose keywords and dare to discard the unimportant parts. ?
? Finally, let me talk about my views on mind map notes: ?
? For me, the role of mind map notes is to help me read deeply and complete my thinking. In the process of map notes, organize and summarize the main points of the book and sort out the organizing framework of the book. Especially when selecting keywords, consider what the key point of this paragraph is and how to express it in more concise words and phrases. After sorting out the main points of the book, consider whether the structure of the book is reasonable as a whole. Based on your understanding of the book, rearrange the contents from an overall perspective to make the contents clearer and more logical. As with most books, when you complete these steps, you will gain a deeper understanding. ?
? If you can only absorb 30% of the content in the book after reading it once or twice, then you will reach 50% after taking mind map notes and other notes, and you will reach 50% after completing a large topic reading. reaches 70. Only by sharing with others (including telling others) and practicing can you reach 90. This last sharing is also very important. Everyone should feel that after you tell it to others, the memory will be more profound. So communicate with others frequently.
