Want to improve your memory?
Here's a fun way to help...
DOODLE
Yes, doodle!
Are you a doodler?
If you are sitting in a boring meeting
or on a Zoom, don’t be nervous to
start drawing hearts, flowers and/or
butterflies in your margins.
While it can look like doodlers are
paying less attention than non-
doodlers, in reality the act of
drawing helps to keep our
brain active.
Just sitting there when you are
bored makes it easier for you
to tune out the speaker and
as a result you'll remember
less information.
I've always been a doodler
and this statistic kinda blew
me away...
In studies, people who were
given a doodling task while
listening to a boring phone
message ended up remembering
29 percent more of what was
on the tape versus the people
who just sat still and listened.
I knew that Doodle Dee Doo was
a song I heard somewhere so I
looked it up.
Turns out it's one of the hits
from about a hundred years ago.
And not, I'm not THAT old, lol.
I have a few solutions to focus
and memory problems I might
be able to help you with, just
let me know.
I have two grandbabies over here
today and we all like to doodle...
Yeah, theirs are still kinda
scribbly but then they are both
only two.
Are you a doodler? What do you draw?
Your dooley pal,
Terri
