According to Sunni Brown, there’s never been a positive definition of “doodle”
Current dictionary definition:– To scribble absentmindedly; engage in idle activity; dawdle; a
rough drawing made absentmindedly. Sunni’s proposed definition:
– To make spontaneous marks to help yourself think

Four modalities of absorbing information
–
–
–
– To successfully retain info, a learner must engage two of
the four, or one plus a strong emotion

Visual Design
Doodling engages all four modalities plus the opportunity for an emotional response
Doodlers have been shown to have better retention than non-doodlers
Doodling can be extremely helpful in situations with high info density, where retention is key
But… how to incorporate it?

Visual Design
Doodling can– Help the visually-minded process information, organize thoughts,
and solve problems– Improve focus and retention– Serve as an outlet for the subconscious– Lead to great art and design
Use with care – make sure everyone in the meeting isn’t there to see what you draw
