As each day fills up with tasks, meetings and endless to-do lists, it’s all too easy to slip into overwhelm and stress. A new study found that doing arts and crafts doesn’t just reduce stress—it also gives a big boost to your well-being by providing a meaningful outlet for your expression, along with a sense of accomplishment.
Today, there are constant beeps, alerts, and dings from your phone and computer. You can doodle with gel pens and felt markers or just stick to words with black and blue pens. Remember, paper planners are there to make your life easier, not more stressful. They give you the ability to work your brain in a different way.
It has games, psychology, science, fun doodles, brain scans and technical step by step instructions. Every project you complete in multitasking-mode is punished with a loss of quality, loss of time and worst of all, you punish yourself with high levels of stress. It’s hectic, stressful and overwhelming. The whole nine yards.
You thought you heard the phone ring this morning but you aren’t sure. Doodle on a note pad. Doodling doesn’t work with a pen because you can’t erase mistakes. You’re really stressed and deserve some down time. Check your voice mail. Could have been a dream. Check your email. Wait for inspiration.
Other tasks like emailing, phone calls, research, and social media can be done at a time of day when you are not in full form. This is a lot harder said than done these days for teachers because its not just doodling, daydreaming, and passing notes thats keeping the students off task. Stay on task. Final Advice.
