\"doodle\"<\/p>\n

Are you a doodler? Psychologists have found that doodling helps us focus and remember details if we are studying or speaking on the phone.<\/p>\n

One well-known doodler was the Noble Laureate in Literature for 1913, poet Rabindranath Tagore<\/a>, who made huge number of doodles in his famous manuscript.<\/p>\n

Another doodler was the poet and doctor John Keats, who used to draw in the margins of his medical notes.<\/p>\n

And doodling seems to be a popular pastime with American presidents. Thomas Jefferson, Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton have all been known to doodle.<\/p>\n

Some people find doodles fascinating. A Japanese man has spent seven years collecting 20,000 pieces of paper covered with scribbles and doodles from stationery stores around the world.<\/p>\n

Hiroki Terai, aged 34, from Tokyo, is intrigued by the rough drawings and scribbles created by customers in stationery shops when they test pens.<\/p>\n

The collection of doodles, known in Japan as \u201ctameshigaki\u201d is currently on exhibition in Kyoto, and a book featuring the global scribble collection will also be published this year.<\/p>\n
