WHY DOODLE? Doodling can help you focus, especially during long business or office meetings. As you create the repetitive marks, your brain slows down, and you stimulate your self-control mechanism which in turn helps you to pay better attention ‒ which then helps you to retain the information you re hearing. It s also a great way of calming your mind and alleviating anxiety. And which of us doesn't enjoy simply letting loose with pen on paper without the stress of having an end goal?
