Need help drawing my ideas

I constantly find myself during boring lulls of classes and the empty study hall drawing out various robot and mechanical ideas. I suffer from two major problems, however.

1- I don't have the patience to convert these over to CAD.
2- I can't draw for the life of me.

I'm wondeirng if anyone could give my tips on sketching mechanical designs on paper to quickly ocnvey meaning- my current sketches consist of crazy and messily drawn lines which are cryptic to all but myself.
An example of, say, a very basic transmission drawn out would be helpful too.

I'm not asking for artistic tips, only ways to better and quickly convey my ideas.

Thanks CD!
