Mind mapping is a visual brainstorming technique in which a central idea is placed at the center of a diagram and related concepts, tasks, or subtopics branch outward in a hierarchical, non-linear structure. It's used by students, writers, project managers, and creative professionals to organize thoughts, plan projects, and generate ideas, often with software tools like MindMeister, XMind, or Miro. The technique leverages visual association and spatial memory to make complex information easier to structure and recall.
