When we use mind mapping to sort out the main content, if time is limited, we don’t have to draw the central theme, and we don’t have to draw it on another paper or book. We can completely use the existing blank space in the book. to sort out the key content. Similarly, when we usually read a book or use fragmented time to read an article, we can also output the key content in the form of a mind map.
Usually, my general method of taking reading notes:
The first step is to read the whole book or text, quickly extract the core content and determine the central theme and backbone of the mind map;

Step 2: Sort out the basic framework of the book and refine keywords through hand-drawn mind maps;
Step 3: Excerpt sentences from the book that inspire you;
Step 4: Write a book review and output it on the platform;
Now, I will focus on how to use mind mapping to effectively sort out the core content of a book.
Specific steps and methods: 1. Draw the central theme based on the book title or core elements; the central theme can be expressed directly by the book title, or a core keyword phrase can be extracted based on the content of the book. Specifically, if most of the content of a book is familiar to you, but only part of the content belongs to a new cognitive field, you only need to extract these core elements into a keyword as the central theme. . If the book is completely new to you, but is something you must master, you can use the title or concept as the central theme.
2. Plan the frame structure and branches of the mind map according to the framework of the book. After the central theme is established, determine the main branches of the mind map according to the table of contents. However, one thing that needs to be explained is that, for example, if the book has 8 chapters, your mind map can have 4 main branches. You can merge related and similar topics, or You can make appropriate trade-offs and filter the content that is important to you.
3. Refine the key content of each chapter, select key words and sentences, and organize them after each branch. In the process of refining specific content, on the premise of ensuring that the meaning expressed is complete, attention should be paid to merging similar and related words and phrases. The purpose of this is to better capture the core content of the key and make the information more streamlined.
4. Provide illustrations for each main keyword and modify them appropriately; in the process of adding illustrations, it is best to use the same or similar illustrations for the same concept. This can quickly organize the content that needs to be sorted out. Mind maps relate to past memories.
When using mind maps to sort out core content, you need to pay attention to the following factors:
1. Be brave in trial and error, adhere to the correct method, and practice with planned goals;
2. Start by imitating, which is also the best shortcut to advance quickly in a short period of time; in the study of mind mapping, we can draw a lot of inspiration and ideas by looking at the pictures drawn by others, especially the method of association and the refining of keywords. , the process of determining the main branches and the concrete presentation of abstract concepts can be "learned from others" by watching other people's mind maps.
3. Through a certain period of study and accumulation, you can learn differently and find a note-taking method that suits you.
