Finally, some good news – all that doodling you’ve been doing in meetings is actually beneficial. The little swirls and flowers and stick figures of your boss with knives all over his body “thought to focus the mind and stop daydreaming, allowing people to persevere with dull tasks,” according to The Daily Mail.
A recent study asked 40 men and women to listen to a long, tedious phone message listing details for a party. When quizzed later on the contents of the message, people who had doodled during the phone call were more likely to remember the names of guests, locations, and other critical details.
If you’d like to print this out and casually slip it to your boss the next time she tries to look over your shoulder and see those “notes” you’re taking during the meeting, you have my blessing.
