Despite the psychological and societal aversions we have to doodling – especially in an environment where we are meant to learn – creativity and learning are benefited by doodling.
Who would have thought that something so simple, and something that many of us have been disciplined for in school could actually be so useful.
I am not much of a doodler by nautre. I tried to encourage myself in that way, but as a writer, I am very text and word focussed.
However, some of the great doodlers of my childhood turned out to be some of the smartest and artistically talented people of my graduation class.
Go figure.
