You know how you were in school and you were given a homework with like 200 problems on it and you're like "oh maaaaan this is going to take foreveeeeer", but you get into it and you start doing it and before you know it you're not paying attention, you're in the zone, you're vibing, and then before you know it you're on the last problem.
This is what I'm looking for, in a book.
It can be a serious book like how to learn kanji or it can be a fun book, like, write the letter L 2000 times
The problem with coloring books is now you have all of these colors and you have to pick which color you want to do next for what parts. With puzzle or logic books you are actively using your brain to solve a problem.
I'm looking for something where you start doing it and your mind either goes elsewhere or it shuts off or it just starts doing something else. Usually it's a very calming experience.
Zendoodle did help a little but it's still too active-brain because you are actively planning what you are going to do. There's a part of your brain that says " oh man this thing needs to look cool so I better figure out something that looks cool before I start so I don't mess it up"
Maybe what I'm trying to describe isn't really a thing in today's society?
