Are you using analog or digital tools for it and generally speaking for what purpose you take the notes.
I am more referring to something along the line of: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sketchnoting
When concepts lay out and interconnect like a periodic table of elements, symmetries, misalignments, or gaps suggest where you’re onto something, or perhaps the conception is mistaken, or more research is needed.
These can prove quite dense, a single well woven page can take 50 powerpoint slides to unpack and bullet or diagram more conventionally.
I use obsidian and similar markdown tools but the shape of a system or information is lost in most text tools. Excalidraw is useful, as is Kroki.io, for tying the two approaches together.
But mostly Apple Pencil and Goodnotes w/ graph paper.
There are plenty of blogs and courses about it and I thought to check with the community before diving deeper.
Situationally, I don't think this style would be well suited, for example, to note taking in a dynamic or fast paced environment. On the other hand, it might well be actively helpful in a brainstorming situation. A sort of constructive doodling.
Before it declined into flakiness (hardware/software failures?), I was a huge fan of mind mapping as a note taking format on my reMarkable. Inevitability I doodled on the reMarkable whilst thinking about stuff, and maybe that could have been built into the mindmap itself rather than being an idle fancy.
If this technique is introduced into a team environment, I think it's set to fail - you want everyone to contribute equally, and to be judged equally, without the fear of being mocked for their lack of skill with a whiteboard marker or smartpen, which was one of my take-aways from Dan Roam's 'Back of a Napkin' book, which is cracking & highly recommended to anyone whose interest is piqued by the sketchnotes idea.
