What Happens When You Stop Typing and Start Seeing Your Notes?

An Introduction to Sketchnoting

Most of us type far more notes than we ever return to.
We capture everything, but remember very little.
So what actually changes when we stop writing pages of text and start seeing our notes instead?

In this episode, I share how sketchnoting transformed the way I process information over ten years ago, because dense text overwhelmed me, bored me, and stayed hidden on my computer. I needed a way to stay engaged while capturing ideas, and a way to actually use them later.

I explore:

  • Why sketchnoting isn’t about drawing well
  • How visual notes help you see, choose and act on ideas
  • How to get started
  • Why choosing what matters reduces overwhelm
  • How sketchnotes become notes you actually revisit

 Try capturing one idea visually and see what happens when you come back to it.

We all need a rethink once in a while, so why not start today?
