"The first humans to make marks were literally making a gigantic leap in the evolution of intelligence, for they were externalizing the first traces of the mental world. In so doing, they were fixing their thoughts in time and space, and also enabling their thoughts to span those same dimensions. Human intelligence could now communicate with itself across the infinite reaches of time and space." Tony Buzan, author, The Mind Map Book
Our brain's potential is infinite. From the evidence of its physiological and psychological architecture, we know that our brain contains vast power that is waiting to be unleashed. Since western civilization's birth, we have been limiting the brain's potential by forcing it to use limited modes of expression. These methods have resulted in problems relating to our ability to learn, remember and organize information to our fullest capacity. When we fail in this regard, many of us resort to loss of self-confidence that affects us the rest of our lives. Lifetimes are wasted, simply because people do not have access to the knowledge of how their brains work.
Linear Note Taking - Bad for the Brain
"Linear note taking has served as one of the greatest impediments to learning", says leading author, Tony Buzan, President of The Brain Foundation. In his book "The Mind Map Book," Buzan offers several reasons why linear note taking has been limiting our brain's potential, the most important being that it fails to stimulate the brain creatively, "By its very nature, the linear presentation of standard notes prevents the brain from making associations, thus counteracting creativity and memory. In addition, especially when faced with list-style notes, the brain constantly has the sense that it has 'come to an end' or 'finished'. The false sense of completion acts almost like a mental narcotic, slowing and stifling our thought process."
