=== Notes ===

The mindmap is a surprisingly technical skill which tells a lot about a student's cognitive process. For myself and my more experienced academic coaches, we can look at a mindmap and in about 10-20 seconds, have a really solid grasp of this person's level of deep processing and critical thinking.

Mindmaps done wrong are a waste of time. Many people have tried and found it to be ineffective.

In the thousands of students I've worked with, I have never seen a student who did a mindmap with the correct technique who still found it ineffective.

In this video, I introduce a few principles of good mindmapping that when COMBINED with the correct overall study system can produce some incredible effects!

All with the handy mnemonic - GRINDE......
