What is sketchnoting?

An overview of what visual note-taking is all about, pulled as a preview from a new resource kit that I'm building.

My name is Doug Neill and I'm passionate about helping others reach their full creative potential. I teach a skill called sketchnoting (also known as visual note-taking and graphic recording), which for me is a gateway to doing better work. Check out the resources below for more info.

OMG i dont know why i didnt see this before. I habe always thought that my notebooks where completly boring and not what i wanted them to be at all. After taking notes during classes or after writing pages and pages while studying in home i always look to my notebook and think "omg i did try to write it all prolix and well organized and nice but IT STILL LOOKS AWFUL" (I study at the Language University of Argentina a career called Spanish-German-French Translater and interpreter, i think that could be the translation, so believe me when i tell you that i do really write A LOT and i try to learn and memorize A LOT OF WORDS). I was so concernd about this problem that i even started thinking that maybe something was wrong with my calligraphy, dont know how to say it but the feeling was that "what i saw was not helping me studying, and was not even pretty at all, i felt that i didnt even use my pages-spaces properly". You my friend have just showed me what i need and i thank you for it. Now i have a tool to both know why i felt that way and how can i solve it! THAKS YOU!
