And if you have a task that has multiple steps, than it should be labeled a PROJECT and have it’s own page full of individual tasks. If you have a lot of tasks in a specific category so you know exactly what needs to get done next.

Do this until all tasks are written down in their specific quadrants according to color. Migrate all relevant tasks from your Brain Dump over to this Task Management Page.

It’s okay to be messy, because we are going to process everything later!Ħ. Quick Note: Don’t worry about being organized at this point. If I have something to add a little later down the page, I will draw an arrow back to the original thought. If I have more to say regarding a specific bullet, I just keep writing. I like to make a list of bullet points, then jot a thought or sentence next to each one. In it’s purest form, brain-dumping is simply creating a list of unconnected thoughts on a page. You not only create room in that pretty little head of yours, you process and organize exactly what you need to do going forward. But where they fall short is when we have hundreds of little reminders and ideas floating around that aren’t necessarily tied to a specific project or task.Ī brain dump is exactly what it sounds like- a chance to get everything out of your brain and onto paper. We simply can’t fill our brains to the brim and expect it to hold everything well.This is why planners, bullet journals, and post-it notes are so effective. It’s like your internet browser with 26 different tabs open…you can’t concentrate, because you’re constantly flitting from tab to tab, never accomplishing anything of true significance.Īdd information overload from the amount of books, magazines, blogs, and social media we consume everyday, and say hello to another mind-inducing complex!

The thing is-our brains are not wired to hold onto multiple strings of information at one time. Does your mind bounce between things you have to do, and things you *think* you should be doing? Do you have a hard time falling asleep because you can’t turn off your brain at night? Are you overwhelmed with hundreds of new ideas, but no time to implement any them?
