Doodle Diaries: Visual Journaling Techniques To Tell Your Story

Are you looking for a practical, easy-to-use tool that will help you process information, generate ideas, and unlock innovative ways of thinking? This e-book is here to help!

Visual journaling involves combining drawn images and text to express your thoughts, feelings, and ideas. It is an effective method to reflect on the past, process in the present, and even plan ahead or envision your future! It helps you “digest” the ideas, thoughts, events, and interactions that are a part of the daily human experience. It is a completely self-generative practice - no AI, annual subscriptions, or screen time needed!

Adding visuals (sketches, icons, or symbols) to your journaling or notetaking practice will boost your creativity and help you to see concepts holistically. Through combining visuals and text in your journaling and ideation practice, you’ll make connections between ideas that might not have been obvious to you before. This practice gives our (often racing and overwhelmed) brains a chance to process all the information being thrown at us. 

When we think in both pictures and words, we are able to simplify complex concepts and see new ways to solve problems. Abstract issues become more accessible and our comprehension improves when we break them down into smaller, more manageable “chunks” - and visual journaling can help us get there!
