Play is not just fluff; it is as essential as rest, movement, and connection, and its absence can be costly. How do your perceptions of play shape the way you engage with it?

We live in a culture obsessed with performance. We optimize our schedules, our workflows, even our children’s extracurriculars. But one thing gets quietly dropped from the agenda: play. Not just for kids but for all of us. Introducing the WELL PLAYED™ Framework: a brand new model for building emotional agility, resilience, and connection through intentional, everyday play. At PLAYSTRUCK, we believe that play isn’t a break from growth, it’s how we grow.

It shouldn’t come as a surprise then that our brains crave narrative, and that effective use of our storytelling abilities are key to success in all aspects of our lives. Doodling, it turns out, can be an excellent help in this area. Doodling gives you a window into the hidden processes of your own mind.
