Weekly Warmup session
Book Sketchnote - Hooked 🤝
Sketchnote of the week ✍🏼
Weekly warm up sessions
One of the biggest challenges in learning anything new is consistency and contextual guidance.
To make it easier for you to learn to Sketchnote, I initiated Weekly Warmup sessions for Sketchnotes. It started on 4-March IST 10am.
The agenda is simple. Introduce a basic sketchnote technique, practice the technique hands one, and then do a live sketchnote together. Exchange ideas, constraints during the session and learn by sharing our knowledge.
Here’s a glimpse of what was covered in the last session
Weekly warmup sessions are going to be schedule every Saturday morning IST (India Standard time).
The next session is planned for 11-March, Saturday.
Book Sketchnote - Hooked
Manufacture desire in 4 steps
The Hooked Model is a way of describing a user’s interactions with a product as they pass through four phases: a trigger to begin using the product, an action to satisfy the trigger, a variable reward for the action, and some type of investment that, ultimately, makes the product more valuable to the user. As the user goes through these phases, he builds habits in the process.
Know more about the Hooked model here.
Last month I read this book start to finish and created a sketchnote out of it. While the content of the book is targeted towards small scale entrepreneurs, I believe it is very helpful framework for Product Managers.
The sketchnote is available for free as part of my Sketchbook on Product Management available on Gumroad

Atomic habit for Sketchnoting
I have also started a group that helps us to build habit of Sketching by giving a minute of our time everyday. The group is called Daily Doodle.
