I believe in the power of sketchnotes. Taking notes in this style has taught me how to take in information and reformat it in my own words in a visually compelling way, and helped me retain knowledge much more readily whether I'm going through a book or attending a lecture/talk. I began my sketchnoting journey in college and have been running with it ever since. I'm still improving, and a sketchnote-a-week keeps my brain ever-learning!
