Doodling And Creativity
A number of studies and extensive research point out that doodling, that is scribbling or drawing in a seemingly distracted manner, is actually great for information retention in the mind and fostering of creativity.
Doodling sets the mind up for greater, more expansive creativity and gets the neurons to fire. It frees up memory and increases the attention span.

Doodling: When, Where and How
- Any lesson or presentation (just like those school classes when doodling was a sin!) is a great time to doodle.
- Any place is a great place to doodle, be it a whiteboard, a notepad, or even on our hands.
- Our drawing ability, handwriting, or the quality of our ‘art’ is not a consideration, as doodling will help the mind work better in any case.
