- This template works well to jot down important points from various team and school staff meetings, too. All you have to do is add the bullet points.
- This note-taking template has plenty of room for doodling during meetings. In a 2009 study, psychologist Jackie Andrade found participants allowed to shade in shapes recalled 29% more details of a boring 2 ½ minute voice mail message than those not shading shapes.
- Researchers believe there may be more than one reason why doodling generates focus and allows for better detail recall while listening.
- It might keep the person alert enough to pay attention during a meeting or lecture they find boring.
- Doodling might just release enough of the mental strain to provide the brain break a person needs to keep actively listening.
- It could just be an unconscious way to relieve psychological distress.
These printable notes include a space for a topic and date, as well as a section for the actual note-taking. At the top surrounding the title, there are nine different minimal designs to choose from! Or you can print them all and enjoy the variety of adorable, hand-drawn styled designs.
