Leave the next slide on the screen for 20 seconds.• Try to remember as
many words as you can. • Don’t write them down

THIS IS THE FIRST PRINCIPLE OF THE INFORMATION MAPPING® METHOD: THE CHUNKING PRINCIPLE
It tells us to group information into small, manageable units.
• Use 7 plus or minus 2 items per chunk.
• For complex information, limit chunks to 5 plus or minus 2 items.
• The Chunking principle is especially important when you write for the web.
