Do you have problems finishing reading a book? Or do you after reading a book, suddenly feel you haven't got a clue what you just read? Or you have challenges retaining what you have read?
Here's a great video by Stephen Pierce on using Mind Mapping in reading a book
In summary
1. Identify your purpose for reading the material
2. Browse the book to get keywords related to your purpose
3. Start with a circle - title of book, author's name, copyright date
4. Branch out with Chapter 1 - Write keywords on one branch each (extract only keywords related to your purpose)
5. To test retention, close the book, mind-map the whole material from memory
