How to Name What You Do


 Ok, so….

What am I going to call this thing I do here?

Out in the world it’s

  • Sketchnotes
  • Graphic recording
  • Visual notetaking
In MY WORLD it’s
  • HowtheheckdoIrememberallthatimportantstuffwhenIcouldn’twritefastenoughtoevengetitalldown?
and sometimes
  • Huh?
*Goes to thesaurus to look at WORDS
*Finds great podcast on how to name a business and listens to their WORDS
*Create a brainstorming mind map full of WORDS

ME: Pictures Worth A Thousand Words- nah, too long.
        Needs to sound fun: people like humour. 
        Doodle-something. Nah, too silly- some of this stuff is a serious matter! And these notes are trying 
        to get to the heart of that.
        Or the ART of that.
        Yes! Good tag-on:
        GETTING TO THE ART OF THE MATTER.

*Takes overnight hiatus to recover from all that effort.

        ME (next day) (and half of last night): So “doodles”feels too babyish- but what if they are
        Thought Doodles
        Noodle Doodles- using your noodle to create the doodles.
        Love a bit of a rhyme!

       * Tests it on social media
        Hmm, Americans think pool noodles or Ramen noodles not your noggin noodle. Flipping English   
        language!!!!

ALSO ME: Oh! 
*Incoming epiphany:
                   I should DRAW what I want to say with all these words!

   A pointing finger for clarity
   A bit of a Monty Python manicle style for quirk
   Pink for attention and possible female audience bias
   And wonky text because WORDS OFTEN GO WONKY!

   Done!
   *
   *
   *
    For now 🤪
