• worth doing even if you don't feel like you can draw well
  • really, I just draw stick figures
• good for your own thoughts and other people's
• own thoughts:
  • non-linear
  • visual metaphors & organizers can be helpful
  • can be a launchpad for more details
• other people's thoughts: distill key points from a talk, book, etc. using my understanding
• visual cues make it easy to see important things first
• doodling is fun
• IDs help with linking (ex: 2024-10-17-02)
• How I use sketchnotes:
  • Flesh out an idea, especially during non-computer time
  • Sketch talks or books to make them easier to review
  • Optical character recognition (Google Cloud Vision API, etc.) to blog text: I edit this to provide a good text alternative in blog posts
• My evil plan
  • Sketchnotes are very shareable
    • People are always looking for visuals to add.
  • When people share them, they usually tell me about it
  • I get to find out what else people are thinking about & learning from.
  • More learning! More fun!
  • It's also a nice way to give back to people who've shared what they learned
    • Then they might share more!
