I frequently draw diagrams to understand the relationships between my 
classes and the problem I am trying to solve. I almost invariably use one 
type of box and one type of arrowhead. Sometimes if I'm bored I draw 
doodles on the diagram. If only I could remember to be consistent about 
what doodle I draw where, I too could be an UML guru.
