To some, doodles may be meaningless markings. However, doodles can be a way for your mind to remain engaged and active. Doodling is known to:

· Increase your focus
· Increase recall and your ability to retain information
· Activate the part of the visual cortex that relates to the ability to see mental imagery and manipulate concepts
· Enhance access to the creative, problem solving, and subconscious parts of your mind while allowing you to still focus with your conscious mind
· Unifies visual, audio, and kinesthetic learning modalities

Doodling is also a skill most communicators need because it can be used for communication and comprehension. Bullets, frames, arrows, etc, are all useful doodles that will help you communicate your ideas to others.
Try doodling with your co-workers to get the most out of a brainstorming session. This may help you convey ideas that are confusing to others. To do this, everyone can get together and doodle the company’s operations to see the process it goes through. This is an easy way to clean up work-flow and cut out any unnecessary extras.

Doodling can help you in the work place. Not only is it user friendly, it is accessible to everyone! The doodle is especially good for working out process and design challenges. Most design companies already use this technique.  Use doodling as a new method at your company to speed up processes and get your ideas properly conveyed to everyone at the company.
