Doodling can help save the world!

 A great TED talk to get you rethinking about the value of doodling.

It's true that doodling engages all the 4 learning modes - auditory, visual, kinesthetic and emotional. And it's for this reason that doodling ROCKS as a form of thinking, contemplating, chewing over ideas and life.

The author Sunni Brown who makes a fine living convincing adults and corporations to doodle suggests we do more doodling as it helps us with problem solving and deep thinking.

She also offers advice for parents keen inspire their kids - encourage their children to doodle as a means of enhancing creativity. Wonderful!  Simple!  And in a kids world - completely do-able!  Takes very little effort.

So next time you look at a doodle as a complete waste of space - reconsider the humble doodle - it's the one activity that could possibly inspire a way to save our planet.

And I'd guess it could just be a child's doodle that will inspire the idea behind the genius.
