Principles
A good map should reduce confusion
If a map becomes harder to understand than your original notes, pause and reorganize. Use fewer main branches, clearer labels, and source reminders only where they help.
One topic per first map
Three to seven main branches
Short labels, clear hierarchy
Source-backed points separated from reflection

The beginner workflow is the safest place to start if you want a useful map instead of a complicated one.
