Carry a Sketchbook

{A Written Practice}

Carry a Sketchbook

Throw one in your bag.

Drawing gives your brain a break. It taps into creativity, and gives you an immediate expressive outlet. Carrying a sketchbook around with you, in a purse, or a backpack, gives you this access anytime you want it.

And using a pencil or a fine-tipped pen? A neural exercise in its own right. Increases motor control, precision, hand-eye coordination.
