Tankekartmaler er imidlertid en enklere måte å komme i gang på, ettersom de er rammeverk som inneholder informasjon om et bestemt emne med veiledende instruksjoner. Tankekartmaler sørger for en struktur som kombinerer alle elementene i et bestemt emne og fungerer som et utgangspunkt for ditt personlige tankekart. De er en ressurs som gir deg en praktisk løsning for å lage et tankekart om et bestemt emne, enten det er i forbindelse med jobb eller utdanning.
