What is doodling?

Do you ever find yourself drifting off into a world of imagination during a boring class or meeting? Well, BIC® family, that's precisely where doodling can come to the rescue! Doodling is the art of creating spontaneous drawings or patterns while your mind is occupied elsewhere. It's like a secret language your hand speaks when your brain needs a little break. Just put ballpoint to paper and let your wrists drift into new worlds of imagination. You might be surprised what you come up with subconsciously.  

What are the benefits of doodling?

Doodling isn't just a pastime for daydreamers; it's also an amazing way to boost your creativity and improve your focus. There are numerous bodies of research that show that doodling can actually help you retain information better. Doodling keeps your mind engaged, preventing it from wandering off completely. So, the next time you're in a meeting and the sentences start feeling foggier forty minutes in, grab your BIC® pen and let your imagination run wild – it’s actually helping you concentrate.

But that's not all there is to this art! Doodling can also be a stress-reliever and a mood-lifter. It's like a mini-vacation for your brain, taking a trip from the mundane and into your imagination. When you let your pen glide across the paper, creating beautiful patterns, it's as if all your worries are left behind with the ink. So, whether you're feeling overwhelmed or just need a moment of tranquillity, doodling with your brand new, multi-coloured BIC® is the perfect escape.
