Good articles, but why “basix” instead of “basics”? I irked me the whole time and it made it hard for me to concentrate on the content of the otherwise good post.

2 Copyright?

Anyone else rankled by the copyright notices on the doodles? Do we owe the author royalties if we use her symbology in our doodling?

3 The next step

Creating and using new ways for increasing group-creativity and problem solving is part of what keeps a committee, library, or other organization moving and growing. As we try them, let us not leave anyone behind. If a quadriplegic like Stephen Hawking can has the genius to revolutionize the structures of both the universe and the atom, what hidden gifts are waiting to be discovered in our neighbors, coworkers and colleagues who also happen to struggle with impairments of one kind or another? So, how do we include everyone in this inherently visual process?

4 Already a convert

I’ve been a life-long doodler. I gave it up for a bit in grad school to appear like I was paying attention more, but quickly found out that I desperately needed to doodle in order to actually pay closer attention. It’s probably the only thing the got me through Lit Theory!

6 Visual power

The point about “enhance access to the creative, problem-solving, and subconscious parts of the brain” is just so true. I tend to doodle cars for some reason (there’s probably some deep psycho flaw indicated by that) and abstracts and always have.

The doodle outcome is not the point, the point is that enhanced access and i know it works from some of the ideas that have arisen from it.

Visual process is very powerful

7 A small testament to strategic and group doodling:

At our company, Prolifiq Software, we’ve taken the idea of strategic doodling to a whole new level. Our conference room walls are actually floor-to-ceiling dry erase boards. With these tools, doodling has become a huge part of our innovation process. In fact, I dedicated a blog post to the importance of imaginative expression in our office culture.

8 Doodle time = chill time

I have been a closet doodler for as long as I care to remember – without any conscious reason, I am at my most creative when words become pictures and that normally reverts back to words.

And I’ve always done that behind the closet door – petrified by the concept that doodling meant I wasn’t taking it seriously, procrastinating or just out and out skiving!

Thanks for the science behind the art. I will now stand up and brag proudly about my doodling prowess!!

9 Compliments from a doodler

Doodling is definitely under-rated, though I think plenty of people do it. I found myself most prone to doodling at work when I was bored, but since I was at a computer and REALLY bored, the doodles evolved into something a little more complicated.

I called them “Dordles.”

Here are a bunch that I made in secret to prevent my creative mind from going to waste: http://www.nikdaum.com/dordles

10 Read Buzan

This was interesting reading on an old idea and one of the great proponents of these ideas is Tony Buzan and his book The Mindmap book which extends the ideas to training and children.It also shows why the idea of doodling and his mindmaps work so well.
