ANECDOTE

Visual Note Effectiveness

Imagine comparing text-based notes to visually enhanced notes a year later.
A quick glance at the visual notes reminds you of the class, while text notes take much longer.

INSIGHT

Visual Note History

Traditional note-taking, like Da Vinci's, included visuals.

ADVICE

Use visual thinking for creative exploration and idea organization.
Written notes are suitable for tasks like creating shopping lists or meeting minutes.
