Making your conferences more memorable with Sketchnoting
summary
Claim: adding simple drawings to handwritten notes measurably boosts memory and focus because motor skills plus imagery create more neural links. Uses cheap markers or pen and paper (iPad optional), five basic shapes, and common lettering tricks. Two practical workflows: real-time sketchnotes or a two-stage rough-then-polish approach. A two-column linear layout fits a one-hour talk on A5 and practice at ~8–10 conferences a year shows rapid improvement. References include the Sketchnote Handbook.
