Mindmap rules (of thumb)
Ø Landscape blank A4 Ø Start in center Ø Capture all associa7ons (Phase 1) Ø Connect each associa7on (Phase 1) Ø Each associa7e ≤ 3 words Ø Use plenty space (clockwise) Ø Use symbols etc for Phase 2: analysis Ø Never cross out or scrap Ø If you want start a new mindmap

Measurement: reading speed
Ø Take the book. 5+5 minutes Ø Start on a new page. Ø Read for 5 minutes. Ø Count the pages you’ve read. Ø Es7mate number of words per page. Ø Calculate: words per minute.

Memorizing new informa7on
1. Connect the new info to word(s), image(s), sound(s), enz.
2. Connect the new info to emo7ons (pain and/or pleasure).

Veranderingen inkomstenbelasting 2003 In de loop van 2003 is een aantal wijziging- en doorgevoerd in de inkomstenbelasting. Deze wijzigingen kunnen gevolgen hebben voor de belasting die u moet betalen of terugkrijgt. Op deze site vindt u een overzicht van enkele belangrijke wijzigingen. Let op! Als u in 2003 al maandelijks een voorlopige teruggaaf ontvangt, dan kan dit bedrag door deze wijzigingen te hoog of te laag zijn. Als u wilt voorkomen dat u op uw definitieve aanslag moet bijbetalen of als u recht heeft op een hogere voorlopige teruggaaf, dan kunt u een nieuw verzoek om voorlopige teruggaaf doen.
