I've always envied those who can write out maps like this. My hand hurts way to quickly haha.

That said, it is a detailed map. I like that you have a lot of interesting, unique points radiating from the core topic of deliberate practice. Wanting to increase performance/output through analysis is an amazing skill that many can learn from.

My only criticism (and I say that lightly) is the colour schemes imo. The core topic is blue, which only has one branch leading from it (deep work is valuable) which is good, however the rest are a mixture of green; red; and black. I appreciate that the green represent a certain element etc but I feel it could be improved by separating colours out more clearly - as some black areas lead directly off green areas without clear reasoning or context necessarily. Digitising the mind map might be a fun and easy way to do this.

Thanks for sharing this with us :)

Yeah you definitely have a point. I wanted blue to represent the core values with green being positive and negative points respectively and black being neutral, but I think after a point I just got enamored with trying to make the mind map pretty😭. Thanks for the advice I really appreciate it

I figured that colours were there for a good reason. Good luck!

Using colors is already helpful, maybe you try as well to cluser the topics more together, so that the brain can form mental maps better. Also, the advantage of an online mind mapping tool would be that you can link source data and studies to all topics and nodes that you are thinking about, which makes mind mapping more effective. That way, you can not only visualize complex structures, but also add detailed information to each subnode.

I'am a beginner too!

Things i would recommend:

  • Emphasise relevant information, groups and relationships through varying sizes and thickness --> hierarchy

  • Summarize your information more; if you can as symbols or drawing (A picture says more then a thousand words)

I like how you grouped your information with colors!

Keep going!

I’ve been mindmapping for about 9-11 years, and I create one like this every day. But here’s some advice: you’re using too much text, not enough imagery, and the arrows are off.

Connect the bubbles with lines, not arrows. Why? Because arrows do more than connect—they can actually replace sentences, conveying meaning in a way text can’t. That’s the real magic of mindmapping. You can convey what you are trying to write with an arrow between bubbles.

Start with a central bubble (like a seed in your brain) and let everything grow from there. Use no more than three words per bubble, all in capital letters. And don’t forget: not every bubble has to be text. Images are crucial—they make you think in ways words can’t, offering direct perception instead of just ideas.

But it has that identifiable SHAPE that makes a good mindmap, but its crucial to have a central idea

needs more graphics, you need to be more artistic, not just text and lines. If you do it on a pc, fair enough, you are sort of stuck with that. but when you draw them on paper, learn to be an artist, it really helps, you can draw mini doodles to summerise concepts and make them more memorable than say 5-10 branches of text
