I love the idea of sketch notes. I am a visual learner. However, I don’t know if I just process too slowly but drawing takes longer than jotting down keywords. How do you doodle the pictures and not miss the next idea being shared?
Sketchnotes are absolute fun and crappy way of taking notes. You do it for yourself first, and your sketchnotes need not to be understandable by others. There are different approaches of sketchnoting live.
1. take concise notes leaving space around during the talk. add doodles later
2. when there's repetition or some related information being shared during talk, use that time to doodle.
3. take notes and doodle together.
In either cases it will take practice to know what to doodle live.
I've always found I'm able to comprehend more by writing things out long hand rather than typing them. It's just so much faster to type them but you're right you don't have to really process it
