To create a concept map you can proceed in the following way. Take a sheet of paper and put in the middle the central concept of your topic of focus. For example, in the case of goal setting it can be the overall direction of your goals. Ideally, represent that concept as a combination of words and an image. Then, starting from that central concept, draw lines to the sides to represent the main related sub categories for your mind map topic. Take one main keyword that you associate with each sub topic and print it in capitals over one of those lines. When you are done with those sub categories, continue the process of branching out lower level sub concepts. Draw lines from the end of each line from the previous stage and, as before, mark those lines with the main keywords that distinguish those concepts.
