- | A mind map is a radial diagramming technique where a central concept is drawn in the middle of a page, with closely related ideas radiating directly from the centre and secondary (and further) thoughts branching further outwards. Mindmapping helps deconstruct complex issues or questions without losing an overview of links between the different elements and keeping an overview of the whole.
