<blockquote><p><big style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">&#8216;Your ability to learn faster than your competitor may be your only sustainable competitive advantage&#8217;. &#8211; Arie de Geus</big></p></blockquote>
<p><big><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">Yet, how much time have you spent learning how to learn?</span></big></p>
<p>Whether you are <span style="font-weight: bold;">at school, at university, at work or in business</span>, you simply have to ensure that you <span style="font-weight: bold;">learn using the most up to date, proven methods.</span><br style="font-weight: bold;" /><br />You must ensure that you <span style="font-weight: bold;">use your whole brain</span>, not only when studying, but in <span style="font-weight: bold;">all your tasks.</span></p>

<p>It is a <span style="font-weight: bold;">comprehensive MindMapTutor</span>, <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">using Mind Maps and text</span> that is <span style="font-weight: bold;">easy to understand</span> and <span style="font-weight: bold;">simple to apply</span>, giving you <span style="font-weight: bold;">fast results.<br /><img style="max-width: 800px; float: left; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-right: 10px;" src="http://www.usingmindmaps.com/images/lmp_cover.jpg" alt="" /><br /></span>If you&#8217;ve been looking for advice on how to learn quicker and easier, odds are that you&#8217;ve come across <span style="font-weight: bold;">various study methods</span>. A good study method is <span style="font-weight: bold;">important</span> for any learner, whether you are doing formal learning, or simply want to keep up with the information overload in today&#8217;s information age.</p>
<p><big><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">But a study method is not enough!</span></big></p>
<p>You have to <span style="font-weight: bold;">put it all together</span> into a holistic structure.</p>
<p>It is with <span style="font-weight: bold;">this in mind</span> that we have put together our <span style="font-weight: bold;">Learning Management Program</span>.</p>
<p>Our Learning Management Program has been divided into <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">Ten Modules</span>, forming a holistic program and is <span style="font-weight: bold;">now available for the first time in a convenient value for money instant download.</span></p>
<p>The <span style="font-weight: bold;">Learning Management Program&#8217;s</span> ten modules provide you with such valuable benefits that the <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">application of just one of the principles could save you hundreds of hours a year</span> and make the learning process so much <span style="font-weight: bold;">easier and more fun</span>. And as you know, time is money.</p>
<p><big style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Let&#8217;s have a closer look at our Learning Management Program can benefit you:</span></big></p>
<p>The Program is written in the same <span style="font-weight: bold;">easy to read style</span> as the articles on this website.</p>
<p>Each module is <span style="font-weight: bold;">introduced with a Mind Map</span>, giving you an <span style="font-weight: bold;">instant overview</span> and <span style="font-weight: bold;">memory hooks</span> that ensure that you have the <span style="font-weight: bold;">best chance of remembering</span> the material possible.</p>
<p>We call this a <span style="font-weight: bold;">MindMapTutor</span>. The use of <span style="font-weight: bold;">Mind Maps</span> ensures that you are <span style="font-weight: bold;">using your whole brain</span> in the learning of the material and that you can <span style="font-weight: bold;">remember it easier</span>. The use of <span style="font-weight: bold;">easy to read text</span> ensures that you<span style="font-weight: bold;"> understand it</span> with as <span style="font-weight: bold;">little effort as possible.</span></p>
<p><big style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"><span style="font-weight: bold;">You use our methods to learn our methods!</span></big></p>
<p>The <span style="font-weight: bold;">Mind Map below</span> is an <span style="font-weight: bold;">overview of the whole program</span>. The text that follows is a more in-depth description of each of the modules.</p>
<p><big style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">This is how each module of the Learning Management Program is written.</span></span></big></p>
<p><big style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"><img style="max-width: 800px;" src="http://www.usingmindmaps.com/images/lmp-10-modules.gif" alt="" /></big></p>
<p><big style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"></big><br />
<h3>Module 1: Vision</h3>
<p>You are first introduced to the concept of a Vision Board.</p>
<p>You then take the concept further by learning how to construct a Mind Map Vision Board.<br />
<h3>Module 2: Motivation</h3>
<p>Motivation is one of the most important, if not the most important aspect of learning. The problems lies in the very methods themselves.</p>
<p>The solution is to provide methods that are simple to use, easy to learn and produces fast results.<br />
<h3>Module 3: Goal Setting</h3>
<p>Having, and working towards, goals is an essential part of the learning process.</p>
<p>We believe that goal setting not only allows you to get things done, it is also part of your motivation routine.<br />
<h3>Module 4: Time Management</h3>
<p>Time Management is as much about managing yourself as it is about managing your time. You have to learn how to manage the importance and urgency of tasks in order to become more proactive.<br />
<h3>Module 5: Reading</h3>
<p>You are probably still using the reading methods you&#8217;ve learned in Grade 1. You need to learn how to read faster with better comprehension.</p>
<p>In today&#8217;s information age, Grade 1 reading methods are simply not good enough.<br />
<h3>Module 6: Note Taking</h3>
<p>Using your whole brain when taking notes, is what Mind Maps naturally do for you. Use Mind Maps to create notes that are colourful, effective and fun!<br />
<h3>Module 7: Study Method</h3>
<p>The best study methods use the whole brain in the learning process. Combine the logical, creative and artistic sides of your brain to learn faster, with less effort.</p>
<p>We give you a step by step method that will allow you to engage your whole brain in the learning process.<br />
<h3>Module 8: Memory</h3>
<p>Many scientists believe that your memory is perfect.</p>
<p>Learn some simple techniques to improve your memory.<br />
<h3>Module 9: Exam Technique</h3>
<p>Your ability to recall the information that you&#8217;ve learned is not only important for exams. Not practising recall is one of the biggest causes of failure.</p>
<p>By practising your recall, you prepare yourself for success by ensuring that you can recall the required information wherever and whenever you need to.</p>
<p>This module prepares you for that important Recall event, not only exams.<br />
<h3>Module 10: Sound Mind &amp; Sound Body</h3>
<p>You need to maintain your mental, spiritual and physical sides to remain healthy, wealthy and wise!<big style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span></big></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>1. What is the best study method?</h3>
<p>You might be thinking that this guy is very bold to even attempt to answer this question! The answer is quite simple though &#8211; any method that utilises the whole brain!</p>
<p>Scientists have now almost universally agreed that the left and right halves of the brain largely have different functions. (For those of you that don&#8217;t know, the brain looks very much like a walnut, with two visibly distinct halves.)</p>
<p>The left side of the brain is the logical side and deals with lists, numbers and structured information etc., while the right side of the brain is the artistic side and handles colour, sensory experiences and unstructured information.</p>
<p>While the above is not entirely true, as both halves share some functions, using both the artistic side and the structured side in learning will greatly improve retention and understanding.</p>
<p>You now have a very good yardstick to measure any study method by.<br />
<h3>2. Why is YourTutor&#8217;s study method so special?</h3>
<p>This is even easier than the first question &#8211; our study method is so special because it actively incorporates both sides of the brain!</p>
<p>It uses Mind Maps®, and the Cornell Method. The artistic, visual learners will be more comfortable with Mind Maps®, while the logical, linear learners will be more comfortable with the Cornell Method.</p>
<p>Only by using both these methods, will the whole brain be used.<br />
<h3>3. What are these methods?</h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;">Mind Mapping</span></p>
<p>The Mind Map Study Method uses Mind Mapping. Mind Mapping is a visual learning tool developed by Tony Buzan. It allows you to record whole chapters, sections and even complete books on a single page. Each page on this website has an overview Mind Map on the top of the page. I will devote a whole section on this website to Mind Mapping.</p>
<p>Simply put Mind Mapping consists of the following:</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; •&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Central Image<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; •&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Main Branches<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; •&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Sub Branches<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; •&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Details</p>
<p>If you are new to Mind Mapping, just browse this site and look at the examples to get a general feel of the concept. A Mind Map® can be overwhelming initially. If this is the case, simply focus on one branch at a time and soon your mind will build the necessary hooks for the information to attach to. I will show you how to convert a Mind Map® to a linear note, making it easier for those more used to regular, linear notes.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Cornell Method</span></p>
<p>The Cornell method is actually quite brilliant in its simplicity. To use the method, simply take an A4 sheet of paper and draw a 6cm column on the left hand side.</p>
<p>Key Words will be placed on the left hand side and details on the right hand side.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s it! No complications, no fuss. Just easy to use, brilliant methods.</p>
<p>An overview of these methods can be found on the Note Taking page.<br />
<h3>Working together</h3>
<p>If converting from a Mind Map® to the Cornell Method:</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; •&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The central Topic becomes the main heading<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; •&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Each Main Topic becomes a heading<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; •&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Each SubTopic becomes a Key Word on the left hand column<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; •&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Each detail branch gets recorded on the right hand side, with Key Words possibly highlighted.</p>
<p>If converting from a Cornell Method note to a Mind Map:</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; •&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The main heading becomes the central topic<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; •&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The headings become main topics<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; •&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The keywords on the left hand side become SubTopics<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; •&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The paragraphs on the right hand side get converted to detail branches.</p>
<p>You are now ready for our <a target="_blank" href="http://www.usingmindmaps.com/learning-management-program.html">Learning Management Program</a>.</p>
