Mind-mapping in the real life

Today I went to critical thinking class and I learned some about mind mapping. It’s about putting an information onto words, picture, symbols and colors so we can easily remember it and put it into our mind. it should be helpful for me but i still don’t know what it is for in the real life. I kept on thinking on the way back to my apartment. Mr. Nicky said to us that the chapter we’ve learned today is going to help us in making our assignment, which is making a blog. It means that in our daily life, we always use mind mapping. But until I arrived at my apartment, I still couldn’t figure out what am I usually do that have a connection with mind mapping. But then I just remembered that I had a lot of assignment that I need to do. So instead of thinking about mind mapping, maybe I better go to my room and do my assignment. But after I sat on my chair, I couldn’t remember what assignment that I should do. So I have to open all my notes again to bring back what I have forgotten. I wrote all the subject that have an assignment such as critical thinking, management, cyberpreneurship and marketing. Then I wrote all the assignment that I should do below each of the subject. I did this so I can remembered all the assignment that need to be done. But if I thought again, what I had done just now is what Mr. Nicky has told me. I drew a Map so I can easily remember in my mind. the subject is the children and the assignment below the subject is the grandchildren. All I need to add is just some nice picture and color. Now I understand why learning mind-mapping can be very helpful in my real life.
