I have a pen and paper at work and I never use it for anything other than doodling while thinking or when distracted or demotivated... My work notebook, I try to keep as clean as possible but a few doodles erupt in random pages at random times.

Re: A scratchpad and a pen
I hope you'll forgive the obvious connotations that can be drawn from the alternative meaning but, ahem, that's a damn fine doodle you've got there, OB.

To anyone:
I just noticed "QUOTE=FunkyDexter;3550144" in the text inside quotes during editing.. Does that mean it's username;uid?
I answered before I read that this was meeting-centric. During meetings, I disassemble my pen and use the spring to launch the ink cartridge towards the ceiling. When not in meetings, the only time I ever use a pad and pen, it is for working out a thought, which involves no real doodling.
You're an exception to the rule that I have observed then... That, generally programmers like to doodle aimlessly when thinking. Or maybe this is something specific to those people with underlying brain conditions :| :O

If all you doodlers could redirect your doodling energy in another direction you might be able to transform your lives. Doodlers Anonymous might be able to help though I hear its attendees spend too much time doodling at the meetings.
Make as many mistakes as you can as quickly as you can. We want to make sure that we make a great enough number of mistakes in a given amount of time so that we can be successful.

This is an interesting topic as the company I work for sent me on a training course a while ago that encouraged doodling and also gave us lego's and squishy ball jobbys to play with as well as colored pens.
It turns out that when you doodle you allow your sub conscious to take in more analytical data more easily. Of course this is a blanket statement. Some people will not doodle but tap pens or use there hands to play with things, like lego or squishy balls.

Sometimes when i try to think, I absent-mindedly write "the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" over and over and over again until I snap out of it. is that a good type of doodling or is my subconscious mind going into another subject entirely like drifting off.
