INTRO:
When brainstorming what to do for my mind map, I was trying to think of something that pertains to my everyday life. I thought of sports first, but realized that was probably to general and unoriginal. As I was thinking to myself,"Man, I'm bored." it occured tome, something relevant to my typical day - being bored and looking for a way to pass the time.
MIND MAP 1:
For the rough draft of the mind map, I just tried to think of the various in which I pass time on a daily basis. Things like watching TV, surfing the internet, doing homework, and going to the gym immediately came to mind. I then thought of other things such as just hanging out with my friends or girlfriend, and even went as far as to make the broad category of "relaxing" its own element. This map was relatively messy and unorganized, and certain categories could be grouped together to make it more efficient.
MIND MAP 2:
For the 2nd and final mind map, I decided to organize it in a way that allowed related categories to be connected (such as social life and watching TV, since I do that with my friends). I also put activities such as "TV" and "internet" in the category of "relaxing" because I figured they went hand-in-hand. In addition, I also tried to make it look much more neat, and added a few poorly drawn pictures to give it a little extra. With the adviceof someone who is much moreartistic than me, colored the middle in accordingly to match the colors on each arm of the mind map, and I had myself a finalcopy.
CONCLUSION:
After completing this assignment, It made me think about how I spend my time a little. I realized that I probably pass a little too much time by not doing anything productive, but let's be honest, that's probably not going to change. It did, however, make me try to think of some new ways I can pass time, whether productive or not, just to change things up a little. Overall, it was an enjoyable assignment since I was able to do it about something that I do on a daily basis.
