Visual Learner or not, mindmaps can be a great way to write out notes or revise. Personally I use mindmaps to revise notes for an exam! Mindmaps can sometimes be confusing to make, so let me lay it out in a few steps:
Materials
Paper - Notebook or Loose Sheets; generally blank paper is better for mindmaps.
Pens - Muji’s Smooth Writing Gel Ink Muji’s Gel Ink Pens (0.5) Staedtler Triplus Fineliners are my faves!
Markers/Highlighters -Sharpie Markers (although they do bleed!) Muji Highlighters Zebra Mildliners
Ruler
Layout
Keep it Simple
Stick to Bullet Points
Have 3 Main Colours
Space it out
Include diagrams if you need
Include post-it notes for extra information
The layout I usually follow:
Usually my bullet points would go under each title. Try to keep it as neat as possible! It will make it easier to study.
Tips
If you dislike writing on blank paper, place lined paper behind the sheet when you’re writing so you can see the lines and keep your writing straight.
If you’re a visual learner, include more diagrams, perhaps even use them instead of Titles.
If you’re using Sharpies, place a blank page behind so it won’t bleed onto the next page or onto the table
Revising
When you’re not directly studying one of your mindmaps, stick them up around you! You’ll look at them and learn from them without realising.
Cover them up and test yourself on them
They’re perfect for last minute prep before an exam
You can read over them to refresh your memory
