How often do you find yourself doodling?

💬 Your Success Stories

An accountant found herself zoning out during long meetings. One day, she started casually doodling spirals and shapes in the corner of her notepad. To her surprise, it helped her concentrate better and stay engaged. She kept doing it—flowers, waves, abstract patterns—whatever came to mind. It became a relaxing part of her routine. When work got stressful, she'd reach for her pen and let the doodles flow. It reminded her of the joy she used to find in art as a kid. Eventually, she bought a small sketchbook just for work breaks. Now, her coworkers know her as the ‘meeting doodler’—and she embraces it with pride.
