December Sketchnote Lab Video Replay: Creating Diary Sketchnotes

Mike Rohde introduces the concept of diary sketchnotes, a creative way to capture daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly moments and reflections through sketchnotes.

As a gift to you as we end 2025, here’s this month’s Live Lab replay. I hope you take time at the end of this year to reflect and create some diary sketchnotes in your journal.

Yearly Diary Sketchnote

Here’s a test of the yearly diary sketchnote created for the session. It was fun to do, and I feel like I could fill a couple of pages with more reflective skethnotes like this.
