Mindmaps are great for brainstorming – things that we need to rearrange from time to time. Mental palaces are great for atomic pieces of knowledge, as even a small unit can encode a lot of information. Placing mental palaces within mental maps and mental maps on the walls of mental palaces we enjoy both options. …
