My name is Jenni. I have the highest degree one could get in most universities, yet I struggle to express in my own words an idea or a concept that I grasp from either reading a book or listening to podcast or simply from an intriguing thought. Because, throughout my education I was only taught to provide correct answers, sometimes even the wordings have to be exact as it appears in the text book.
After a couple of years of trying various note taking methods without much success, I took a courageous 1 step to enroll to Cohort 13 of Zsolt Viczián’s Visual Thinking Workshop. As part of the cohort you get to learn the tools, techniques, processes and best practices of Visual Personal Knowledge Management (VPKM) system by actively working on building your own VPKM system rather than just listening to Zsolt’s video lessons. To bootstrap your VPKM system, we all in the cohort read the “Tiny Experiments: How to Live Freely in a Goal-Obsessed World” by Ann-Laure Le Cunff.
Encouraged by my learnings from the visual thinking workshop course and acting on the experimental mindset fostered by the Tiny Experiments book, I set out to use this space to showcase my visual notes on various topics and ideas primarily from the Tiny Experiments book but ideas also from other sources that capture my interest. Your feedback are most welcome!

I beleived that for sketch noting or any form of visualization one must be good in drawing, design and with colors and I am not. ↩
