Average person has roughly 48.6 thoughts per minute. For perspective, that adds up to 70,000 thoughts in a single day. With the sheer number of thoughts bouncing around in our heads, it’s easy for our brains to become cluttered and stressed.
Having a cluttered mind is like having 100 tabs open on a laptop — your brain lags, freezes, buffers, and ultimately crashes. How do you fix this overwhelming sensation?
Enter Brain Dump
A mind-clearing tool popularized by David Allen’s Getting Things Done. It’s simply the act of dumping all the contents of your mind onto paper as one might dump the contents of a purse onto a table. Write until you feel like the pressure inside of you is lessened.
Why It Works?
You are helping yourself manage your thoughts in a very practical manner, by removing them from your mind and placing them outside you. So that eventually you can tackle each one based on priority. This helps the brain relax because it no longer has to remind you to focus on the issue because you have recognized it.
How often?
At least once a week. But there’s nothing wrong with doing one every day. An evening brain dump is the perfect end to your daily routine…
Get your thoughts and tasks out where they’re visible and won’t get lost, and you’ll sleep so much better!
