Beyond the borders of the comfort zone

I have taken on a new fancy, so to speak; I have recently seen a lot of excellent examples of what is known as "sketchnoting" - that is, to note stuff in the form of sketches just as much as in the form of notes. There's supposed to be many positive traits to it:
It should be possible to better remember stuff, if the brain is put to work by drawing rather than just noting - and if one draws rather than just notes, it should engage both hemispheres.
I often sit around doodling on paper while listening, and why not doodle something productive?
And finally, I feel excellent to challenge myself to a point, where I am painfully aware of my own limitations - I do not, to say the least, draw very well. But I would be extremely happy to become better at it, and I have recently made the point that we should move outside our comfort zones to become better at doing things.
So all in all - there is no reason to think twice. Well, maybe one should think twice before announcing anything, but on the other side it is probably also very good to start off immortalising the state at rock bottom.
So be it - here it is; currently only in Danish. Whether there will ever be more? Well, time will tell.
