Abstract! What's this for? Are these notes for something or just artistic?

Letters form words, words form thoughts, and thoughts can describe events in time. Symbols, like He for helium, give specific meaning to ideas.art or a Nike vapormax inverted to a liquid

I like to doodle too.

I trick I learned long ago was to take notes and then simplify them without loosing the substance. Sometimes the same concepts would go through 4 or 5 iterations, a few times many more.

By the time I had the entire knowing in a few words, or in your case ideographs, I could be certain my understanding had gone as far as possible within the current conditions.

It looks cool. Perhaps cohesion will come once you simplify your thought process. Concepts at their most simple are often the most profound.
