My notes from college are covered in sketches (not nearly as detailed as yours) and I had a high school history teacher who felt that my note-taking style was disruptive to the entire class. Whatever. Like you, it helps me pay attention in some bizarre way. I was a once upon a time artist and I my abilities have atrophied…but yes, I do this.

Amazing! I so wish I could draw this way. Kinda reminds me of courtroom sketch artists. What a talent! Thanks for posting this and getting the juices flowing. WOW! Amazing!

Mine were never as good as yours, though, which is probably why I remember nothing.... The Hubs would sketch circles in the margins of his art history notes. Just circles and circles.... it made no sense at all to me, but apparently it was the Industrial Design major in him at work. He also remembered EVERYTHING that was said. It was weird.
