The researcher asked 40 people to monitor a 2 1/2 minute dull and rambling voice mail message. In 2009, a study published in the Journal of Applied Cognitive Psychology, found that doodlers find it easier to recall dull information than non-doodlers. Research now shows the folks who draw during sermons, the kiddos who add little pics along side their class notes, and the employees who sketch random designs in meetings are actually more engaged, focused, and creative. And yep, sometimes I doodle because I am dreadfully bored in a meeting and drawing little funny faces or random geometric designs keeps me awake. Sometimes I doodle to enhance my notes (little arrows and pics to connect ideas) and sometimes to keep my mind engaged. So is this man checking out? or is he, in fact, more focused on the message because he is doodling? Now I have to admit, I, too, am a doodler. The minute the pastor starts the sermon, the pencil comes out and the drawings start. Every week in church, I sit near a gentleman who consistently doodles.
