Japanese 320: Special Topics in Japanese

Mind-mapping is method of brainstorming ideas and thoughts in order to create a structured plan. This can be for goal planning, research purposes, or even just planning tasks and thoughts for day-to-day life.

These can be created with formal diagram programs like Google Diagrams (draw.io) - or freestyle drawing with color, pictures, and other visual mediums.

It is not required to have a specific topic in mind - start with a broad idea, and use mind-mapping as a way to narrow it down into defined parts. If using it for research purposes, it can be really helpful towards crafting a thesis statement.
