Concentrate Better By Doodling

Kelson writes "The next time you see someone doodling during a meeting, don't criticize them for drifting off. It turns out that doodling is the mind's way of keeping itself just busy enough to avoid checking out entirely and slipping off into a daydream, and doodlers actually remember more of that boring talk. (Judging by my college notes, this probably helped me remember a lot of otherwise-boring lectures.)"

I have doodled for at least 30 years

Pretty much in ever class that I remember since the 3-4th grade. All through college and every meeting I bring pad/pen to.

In fact, my meeting notes, have WAY more random scribbles and weird drawings than actual notes.
