The Sketchnote Handbook Video Edition: The Illustrated Guide to Visual Note Taking by Mike Rohde

5.0

This is my new, best, and only way of take notes during class . My weakness in school is daydreaming, I am really good at it, I can even copy what the teacher is writing from the board to my notebook and not realize it until the I reach the end of the page. My mind being somewhere else. Same thing with audio books, my mind just cancels out the sound to think about something else and before I know it I am on Chapter 7, but could not tell you the name of the main character for a hundred dollars.

Sketch notes force me to stay engaged during lecture by keeping my pen constantly moving on the paper, and my ears constantly listening, preventing my mind from wondering. It is extremely effective! Plus, my notes are a "work of art!" I get so many compliments, and more than a few times extra credit for turning them in. It also makes studying way more fun.

I highly recommend anyone give this method a shot, its helped me SO much, it is invaluable.
