As a teenager, I read 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens then as an adult I read 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. Both books include the same habits and message but is written to the target reader. They also have the book The 7 Habits of Happy Kids for children!
During trainings, I love to write and draw as I'm a very tactile person. I have seen sketchnoting on Twitter, it really resinates with me since I like to draw even though I'm not very good! Sketchnoting is a form of note taking but you can use visuals and words to bring your notes to life.

I don't have much experience with sketchnoting but I wanted to try it out during this training since I knew I'd be taking notes. So here are my sketches from the training:
Habit 1
Habit 2
Habit 3
Habit 5
Habit 6
Habit 7
My thoughts about sketchnoting ? I'm a big fan. I am very aware my drawings need some help and things can be a little neater but the purpose is not to create perfect, beautiful art, it is to create notes. I found myself listening and paying attention to the presentor acutely. I had to take what I was hearing then process it and decide how to display the knowledge. My mind was much more active while doing it. I can see how sketchnoting can help readers comprehend for sure!
There will be more sketchnoting in my future and a strategy I plan to teach my soon-to-be students!
