🌀 Is Doodling the New Brainstorming?
Apr 24, 2025
Welcome to this week’s One Minute Reset💫
The space where we explore simple, powerful ways to reset your mind and recharge your creativity—one mindful minute at a time.
The Scribble That Sparked💥 an Idea
Ever caught yourself absentmindedly doodling during a meeting or while on a call? Swirls🍥, stars⭐, geometric shapes🔴🟩🔷, your name in cursive… You probably didn’t think much of it. But here’s the twist: that little scribble could be doing more for your brain than you realise.
Doodling isn’t about being artistic—it’s about giving your mind permission to wander. And that tiny mental break? It might just be more productive than forcing yourself to brainstorm.
Why Doodling Works (Even in the Boardroom)
When your brain’s in overdrive, sometimes the best thing you can do is get out of the way. Doodling helps shift your focus away from overthinking and into a playful, relaxed state. It unlocks creativity by letting thoughts flow without pressure or structure.
Think of it as the opposite of forced productivity—creativity with no agenda.
Your 1-Minute Creativity Boost
Ready to try it? Here’s your One Minute Reset:
🔅Grab a pen and a piece of paper (no fancy notebook needed).
🔅Set a timer for just one minute.
🔅Doodle whatever comes to mind—shapes, faces, letters, whatever feels good.
🔅Don’t aim for “good.” Aim for freedom.
🔅Breathe. Enjoy. Let go.
That’s it. You’ve given your brain a micro-reset.
💥Turns Out, Squiggles Can Spark Solutions
Next time you're stuck, overwhelmed, or just need to pause—ditch the scroll and pick up a pen instead. Sometimes the best ideas don’t start with a brainstorm... they start with a doodle.
Until next time,
Keep creating. Keep resetting.
