The note-taking skills are based on research results, which indicate that making "mind-maps" or "idea-maps" can facilitate your memory consolidation process. In this skill-set, the same diagraming process is focused directly on "self-mapping" in order to achieve maximum memorization of essential brain science facts and ideas.
You can apply the "mind-mapping" or "idea-mapping" technique of diagraming the brain science facts and ideas to re-define your SELF. The memory enhancing self-mapping process is a wholesome way to balance your culture-based habits with your life-affirming core personal humanistic values, which should be the source of your creative goals and action plans during the decision-making process of your contemplation of living in the separate worlds of the present and the future!
You can start by drawing an ellipse-shaped oval in the center of a blank piece of paper and writing the word "SELF" in the middle of it. Or, you can print out the Self-Map Note-Taking Form at the following link:

Next, you can draw straight lines radiating out from the edge of the "Self-Map" diagram.
This self-mapping process of enhancing your memory is a visual note-taking memory process. It can help you break through the vexing confusions or "fog" created by ancient prejudices, superstitions, stereotypes, and chemical addictions in order to achieve your rational goals and action plans. The idea and name for "mind-maps" and the specific "rules" related to using them effectively were first developed by the creativity expert Tony Buzan, who also wrote the book whose outline summary is linked next:
