Is this you?
- You sit in a class or meeting, scribbling frantically as you try to get every word on paper.
- You strain your brain trying to stay engaged and listen actively—but find yourself zoning out every time.
- You go back to review your notes later and realize in horror that everything you wrote down has left your brain.
- You can’t decide if you just uniquely suck at taking notes or if your brain just…can’t handle information anymore.
Traditional notetaking can be a real bummer. It’s slow, it’s boring, and most of the time you barely retain a thing!
Sketchnotes combine text and simple images to communicate information quickly and memorably.
They require no artistic ability (really!) and have been scientifically proven to help notetakers retain information 8 times better than just writing things out!
A visual notetaking method like sketchnotes can take you from struggling to remember what was said, to easily recalling key points and having fun doing it!
Not sure where to start? I’ve got you!
