It sounds very meta but I thought I would have a go at sketching out the workflow I use when I create a sketchnote as an aide memoire for a talk I'm going to give.

The steps are roughly in this order (in case you can't read my writing):

• Think of the presentation subject
• Brainstorm the major points as a mind map
• Refine this list into a set of ordered chunks that will be my script
• "Act" the script in an "Italian Run Through"
• At the same time, make a rough sketchnote of the presentation
• Refine the "act" and the sketchnote together
• Embellish the finished sketchnote with details I want to make sure to bring out during the talk
• Scan the drawing for archiving later
• Throw away my written notes
• Take the sketchnote to the presentation
• Profit!
