Where did this idea come from?
Some of the earliest examples were created by Porphyry of Tyros, in the 3rd century, as he graphically visualised the concept "Categories of Aristotle".
But the term "mind map" was recently popularised by Tony Buzan in a 1974 BBC TV series.

A 2005 user study found that 80% of students thought "mind mapping helped them understand concepts and ideas in science"
62.5% of students of art and design found that with this structure they were able to understand concepts better.

How to Make a Mind Map
Pick your general main theme
Write it down in the centre of the page. (This can be your niche or a topic you want to discuss)
Write out sub-themes (branches) of your main concept
Connect the branches to them from the centre with lines

Details make the difference. Make sure you:
Use short phrases, or single words
Add images to help retain information and spark creativity
Grow to at least 
main points for each branch
Grow it to however many sub-themes you want...

BUT!
Worth to note as you start creating... A mind map can have many first level associations, but the mind can only really grasp a max of 7!
So make sure you do not overly complicate your map!
Simple and straightforward might be better!
