This module is included in Augmented Brain Pack et Complete Curriculum.
Map a meeting, a lecture, a book or a project in real time on a single page, and run a note system that rereads in two minutes instead of sleeping in a notebook.
This module is for you if...
- You have whole notebooks you have never reread
- Your meeting notes are a wall of text with no hierarchy
- You write everything down and retain nothing
- You cannot find the information again three weeks later
By the end of the module, you can do this
Verifiable skills, not impressions.
Build a readable, properly ranked mind map by following ten precise rules
Take notes in real time during a meeting or a lecture, without losing the thread
Map an entire book onto one usable page
Master three complementary systems: mind maps, Cornell and atomic notes
Build a visual vocabulary of thirty pictograms you can draw in three seconds
Turn raw notes into decisions and actions through a weekly review
Choose the right system for the context instead of always using the same one

Why your notes are useless
Understand why linear note-taking fails, so you stop repeating it.
- 1.1The failure of linear notesLessonfree to readFour structural flaws in classic note-taking, and what they cost you.14 min
- 1.2Radiant thinking and chunking: how the brain worksLessonWhy a star-shaped structure fits mental processing better than a list does.15 min
The laws of mind mapping
Produce maps that are readable, hierarchical and genuinely useful.
- 2.1Anatomy of a mind mapProtocolfree to readCentre, branches, keywords, colours, images: the five components and their rules.18 min
- 2.2The ten rules, and the six mistakes that ruin a mapLessonThe full checklist for producing readable maps, and how to diagnose the ones that failed.16 min
Mapping in real situations
Keep up with a meeting, a lecture or a book.
- 3.1Mapping a meeting in real timeProtocolThe sixty-second preparation, handling the mess, and leaving with decisions and actions.18 min
- 3.2Mapping a book or a lectureProtocolTwo distinct protocols: content structured in advance, and content discovered live.16 min
The other note systems
Have three complementary systems, and know which one to pick.
- 4.1The Cornell methodProtocolThe three-zone system built for active recall, better than a map for linear content.15 min
- 4.2Sketchnoting: your visual vocabulary in thirty symbolsExerciseDrawing is not a talent, it is an alphabet of shapes. Thirty pictograms that cover almost everything.17 min
- 4.3Atomic notes and links: the Zettelkasten principleLessonThe linked-note system for building cumulative knowledge over several years.16 min
From note to action
Turn notes into decisions, into actions and into knowledge you can reach.
- 5.1The weekly review of your notesProtocolThirty minutes a week that turn a pile of dead notes into a living system.15 min
- 5.2Synthesis maps and decision mapsProtocolTwo advanced formats: the map that summarises ten sources, and the one used to decide.16 min
Keeping the system alive
Turn a pile of maps into a working memory you can consult, still useful in six months.
- 6.1Revising through the map: blank reconstructionProtocolWhy rereading a map achieves nothing, and what to do instead.16 min
- 6.2Paper or digital: what each medium does betterLessonThe real deciding criterion, which is not the one people expect.14 min
- 6.3The strategic map: deciding, weighing up, presentingProtocolFour map formats built for deciding, not for remembering.17 min
- 6.4Your map library: filing, finding, linkingProtocolHow a hundred maps become a system you can consult rather than a pile.15 min

About Mind Mapping & Note-Taking
Three to five maps to master the format, and about two weeks of daily practice for it to become the default way you take notes.
Yes, and chapter 3 covers the case: a map drawn live in a meeting becomes a shared object that people correct together, which is precisely what linear minutes never achieve.
No. Chapter 4 gives you thirty pictograms, each drawable in under three seconds with straight lines and circles. Drawing here is an alphabet of shapes, not an artistic skill.
Paper for thinking and for memorising, software for archiving and sharing. The module gives the real deciding criterion in chapter 6, and it is not the one most people expect.
Yes, with an adaptation: heavily formal content, formulas or code, sits badly on a branch. The module shows the hybrid format, a map for the structure and linear notes for the detail.
The map is finished when the meeting is. The sixty-second preparation is what makes that possible, and chapter 3 gives it step by step.
