There’s more to Doodling than you might think.
Do you doodle, or did you when you were younger? Did people tell you that meant that you were not paying attention? It turns out the exact opposite is true. Research shows that individuals who doodled while listening to a monotonous telephone recording retained up to 29% more information than those who did not.* And retaining more information is only one of the many benefits of doodling.

The journal is designed so that you can use it anywhere, with out a desk or table. Take it with you on the bus or train, in waiting rooms, to meetings. If anyone questions you, tell them it uses a part of the brain that helps you retain what you hear—unlike checking your phone!
