2015-03-23T15:50:12ZYes after viewing your and other sketch notes, I have started mind mapping and sketch noting since few months. I completed my medical school, so my notes are all medical field related. Thanx for comment and inspiration.

2016-03-23T14:21:26ZI have been a fan of Ryan Holiday's commonplace system.. That is how I discovered your site (searching about his book - 'The Obstacle is the Way' - which I am reading currently). To be honest, I am going to steal your sketchedbooks idea for my own book summary method. Thanks. :)

2018-12-13T07:21:56ZWow， thanks for your notes， it's really inspiring! Btw, I use Notability + Wacom Tablet to do note taking, simply because it's can sync between Computer/Phone/Pad seamlessly. And I also use them to prepare slides for my students. But I think I need more practice to improve my sketching techniques. So thanks again for keeping a blog like this and recommend resource like sketchnotearmy.com ;- )
