Description

Writing down all thoughts and tasks to clear the mind.

Benefits

Helps reduce mental clutter, increases organization, and enhances productivity.

Example

Danielle, a high school teacher and mom of two, felt like her brain was constantly β€˜on’ with reminders, tasks and worries, all jumbling together. I suggested a nightly brain dump: she grabbed a notebook before bed and wrote down everything on her mind, no matter how small. It wasn’t a to-do list, just a mind sweep. After a week, her sleep improved and her mornings felt calmer because she wasn’t waking up thinking of forgotten tasks. Another client, Raj, a freelance designer, uses a brain dump every Friday afternoon before logging off. It helps him clear the clutter, close open loops, and start Mondays with more clarity.
