Brain dump

It’s time to brain dump when you’re saying this:

“Uurgh, I’ve got like one million things to do and I can’t even get started on the smallest one because I’m so, like, blinking, distracted, and as soon as I start on one thing another five turn up and even just waking up in the morning I DON’T KNOW WHERE TO START!”

Sound familiar?

SORT IT OUT!

You’re not going to get anything done if you if you don’t first identify what exactly needs doing.

So what does it look like inside your head? Neat, ordered, each memory, personality trait, task to remember all neatly compartmentalised and easily accessible?

Or is it a hopeless swirl of sticky grey matter, with the really important struggling with the mundane to get to the surface and the clear light of day?

My money’s on the second.

Here’s how you remedy it:

BRAIN DUMP:

1. Take a large piece of paper
2. Write all the shit you have to do on it, one line at a time
3. Take five minutes
4. Go back and do it again.
5. Take five minutes.
6. One last go.

Voilà! and BANG! You now have a TO-DO LIST!!! Cross one line off when each to-do is done and you’re GETTING STUFF DONE!

Awesome! High Five!
