    This week Sara gives us a new Business Bite on mind mapping. A visual diagramming technique used to represent different words, ideas, tasks, and concepts branching out from a central idea.

Two key considerations when starting with mind mapping are identifying the central idea and using colors and images to enhance visualization.
