Sketchnotes

Sketchnotes is a way to take notes visually, not just 

using words.

Basically, you add pictures (doodles you come up with or pre-planned "icons") to your notes that you draw during or after listening to a lecture or reading a textbook. 

The pictures are not art and can be stick-figures, so you do not need to have artistic talent to use this note-taking method.
