Breaking the stigma of ‘distracted doodling’

I get it. You’re on far too many calls and virtual meetings.

Maybe you even commuted to an office today, only to spend all of your time on video calls with members of your team that were not in your office.

The frustration can feel intense.

Doodling has always been framed, even vilified, if I may, as the device of the distracted.

It CATEGORICALLY is not.

Contrary to old-school wisdom, when you’re doodling you’re actively listening. In fact, science shows you’re likely listening up to 29% more than most!

So the next time you are on a call, think about whether doodling might bring some enrichment to create a focused conversation.

You’ll thank me later.
