D is for... De-Stress (and Doodle)


Through out the Career Development Workbook are De-Stress (and Doodle) Pages, aimed at getting you relaxed, tuned into your creativity and used to the idea of actually using the book as a workbook - writing in it, drawing in it and following its instruction and guidance.

I am not going to include an "extract" of the doodle pages, instead I wanted to open a discussion regarding annotation and doodling in books.

Do you or don't you?
 
In regular fiction (or non-fiction) books - do you doodle, annotate, highlight, stick post-it notes or whatever else into you book?

Personally I use colouring pencils rather than highlighters and do a lot less annotations than I used to (as a student I probably had the most annotated books imaginable) but this is still something I will do. However, there are times I do prefer to keep a book in "good condition" and will use a notebook along side.

The workbook combines these. I can write and doodle keeping everything in one place (maybe supplementing it with a diary) and it is a much more useful book.

If you are the sort that like to keep their books in pristine condition (or simply don't write in them) - would you?

  1. I love to doodle, but not in books! If this is a duplicate, sorry. My dumb computer does stuff without my permission. Like I'm writing in the comment window and all of a sudden it's gone. What's with that??? LOL.

  2. Happens to us all - the computer takes on a mind of its own. :)

  3. I never write in books - I didn't even highlight when I was in school. It just felt sacrilegious or something. Even with workbooks I usually use another piece of paper.

  5. Oh no! Can't write in a book, far too sacrilegious...

    I love notebooks though, and can't resist buying them.
