Heather, I have to agree with you, I doodle to to keep focused at meetings or class. Can't say I have any research though to back it up.

        Is that really true? I doodle constantly when I am in meetings and such, and I always did when I had lecture classes/ discussion classes in college too- I find I am better focused when I am doodling, and if I don't have a pencil and paper then my mind really starts to wander.
        I think- but I don't have any research- that doodling is really different than serious "right brain zone" drawing somehow. Does anyone have any real research type info on it?
