At first glance, the map only replaces the linear note with a more
colorful and pleasant scheme. In fact, the principle is more
subtle: The map is expected to reflect the real mechanism of the
brain. It means that when you add an idea, you expand in the
brain the connections between the cells and open new spaces of
creativity. As you can see, the map looks like a network of
neurons with their dendrites!
Real life example:
I use mind mapping for preparing a dissertation or for solving a
problem. I don't use too much it for finding a new idea.
Mind mapping relies, like brainstorming, on the mechanism of
association of ideas. On the contrary, I think that the real
creativity must break off these associations which exist in our
mind.
Nevertheless, we recommend you to use this tool.

happen if life time was infinite and on the contrary, what would
happen if life time was only one day?
