The Benefits of Note Taking.
From work to school to home, note taking is part of daily life. Note taking with mind maps is a great way to record key information visually and can have huge benefits to your creativity and productivity. Better yet, with MindMeister’s Outline Mode, you don’t even have to choose between linear and visual notes: you get the best of both worlds! Let’s take a look at the benefits of note taking with mind maps in more detail.
Show relationships and hierarchies at a glance.
See Connections Between Ideas
Creating notes in a mind map allows you to build out topics and ideas with ease. With the classic radiant mind map structure, you can easily see hierarchies between topics and draw connection lines between them. If one idea fits under another main topic, quickly move it via drag + drop.

Never Lose the Overview
Because the MindMeister canvas is infinite, all your notes are always on one page. Zoom in and out, use color-coding, or paste in images to make topics stand out: you’ll never lose sight of the main idea. Don’t shuffle through pages and pages of notes, see it all in one place on a mind map.
Take more meaningful notes.
Improve Recall and Retention
Mind maps use a variety of mental triggers like images, icons, and colors that help you memorize and recall the content of your notes more easily. Additionally, mind maps encourage fewer but more meaningful notes. Instead of mindlessly transcribing what you hear, a mind map’s keywords and phrases help your brain process incoming information.
“My brain doesn’t work in a linear way, but MindMeister helps me build connections, even across topics. It helps me express myself.”
