Thank you! This was great for me to get a bit more detail on essentialism. Also, I've been using your videos for about 7 years with my approx. 9-12 year old students encourage visual note-taking.I talk with them about listening without dying from death by, well, listening.... You can see the revelation & delight on their faces as a primary school teacher encourages them to doodle while they listen to her! Hehe, love it. They are so much calmer when they are visual note-taking.Thank you for your great videos!! Rhylie

This is great. I love it. I’d be interested to learn more about your workflow to prepare for creating one of these videos? Things like how you plan out what will go into your drawing and how much time you put into it before you’re ready to go on camera? Part of what makes your videos so great is that you’ve clearly put time and effort into preparing, yet they still have a somewhat rough look that doesn’t look over-planned. I guess that’s the beauty of sketch notes when done well. 😊
@verbaltovisual5 жыл бұрын
Glad you enjoyed the video, Sue! As far as prep goes, I sketched out my weekly workflow here: instagram.com/p/Bohal1hgO8z/. I go through a few drafts but I never want to (or have time to) get the videos too polished. I'm embracing the idea of getting to 80% and calling it good! Because sometimes when you shoot for 90 or 100% you just shoot yourself in the foot.

I think the overarching question that I'm always asking is: which of these ideas do I want to start applying to my life? With some books only a few ideas here and there stand out. With others (like this book) it's the entire framework that I'm interested in, hence the value I find in mapping the whole thing out.

Some helpful concepts here but I'm guessing many listening have a lot of essential non-Wow! responsibilities. Being in a family comes to mind immediately. Being a part of a community (e.g., a church community or a neighborhood) where for the whole to thrive, I need to commit to a number of moments that lack much wow. It would be easier to take in this video and its important message if it were given in some real-life context.
