Redpath Seminar: The Future of Asia

On Saturday, I attended The Future of Asia Redpath Seminar. It was an opportunity to learn from some incredible thinkers, I couldn’t have been happier with the mental meal I gorged on.

Inspired by this guy (+ this) and a study that found doodlers actually often have better memory recall, I tried drawing the speakers while taking notes. I’ve never seriously drawn anything in my life, I actually kind of liked it, might try to get better at it.

You might enjoy my summary page which contains some interesting nuggets out of about 15 pages of notes. Here’s the event’s brochure for more data.

Redpath Seminar Note Summary

  • Taking visual notes to improve memory recall both makes sense and looks like fun. You're now my inspiration to try the same approach at tomorrow's Green:Net conference.

    Thanks for sharing.
  • I did enjoy it, will be curious to hear your thoughts. I definitely missed some points while concentrating on drawing, but I feel like I still retained more information than I normally would in a session, because I wasn't switching over to thinking about other subjects (i.e. my distractions were still related to the event).
