I think doodling does sort of let me relax part of my body & brain but still let me hear what's going on while I'm doodling...sort of like a white noise background kind of thing.
I'm not sure how to gauge the quantity, but I think I doodle a lot. I do it pretty much whenever I can "adequately" pay attention to the task at hand, but still have that little sideline going on. I sometimes err to the side of doodling. In school it was mostly during lectures, so I end up hearing most of the lecture but with a notebook full of doodles. Now that I'm in work, I doodle at meetings. I thought it might be because of my strong artistic side but I'm not so sure that's it. I've saved very few of my doodles...most get disposed of when the page they're on is no longer of other value to me...though I think I still have some books and notebooks from high school and college and I bet there's a lot of doodles in those.
