In the Article by Anna she starts by defining doodling.
Doodling: the spontaneous act of drawing, typically in the margins of whatever one is really supposed to be working on — is more than a humble distraction. While doodling gets a bad rap, it’s actually associated with better learning, creativity, and performance.
She then explains there are 5 benefits from doodling.
1. Doodling Helps You Concentrate
2. Doodling Makes You A More Productive Employee
3. Doodling Can Also Keep You In The Present Moment
4. Doodling Is An Outlet For Every Day Creativity
5. Doodling Helps You Generate Ideas
What I loved about this article was that it was simple and to the point and reinforced everything I have been trying to tell clients for years. I am so glad to be part of the doodle, coloring book and graphic recorder movement. The world needs more people who understand Doodling is Thinking!
