I loved this article. I used to doodle a lot during lectures when I was in college and yes I used to remember every thing the lecturer spoke. At work, very rarely in some meeting, I used to doodle and then I would feel embarassed – people might think I am not serious so i avoided doodling. I now see how doodling is good for the brain. I am going to do it again.

I always was stopping myself from doodling during the meeting or lecture as i thought that my colleagues or lecturer would be offended. That i would be showing disrespect. Now i feel delighted to know the other point of view. Thank you!

In reply to Daphne Gray-Grant. Trust me, they are pretty low. However, I'll look at the book. Thanks!

In reply to Charles Cohen. My suggestion is that you lower your standards! Doodling is not about doing something beautiful; it's about leaving your brain free to wander. I felt enormously relieved after I learned that. I found reading the book The Doodle Revolution (cited above) very helpful.

Any suggestions on how to learn to doodle? I’ve tried many times and am usually very disappointed, and would benefit from either a book or something online. Thanks in advance!
