Organizing your thoughts to increase creativity and productivity
Brain Dump is a transfer of all of your thoughts and knowledge from a period of time or on a particular subject into a journal or notepad. The idea is to round up loose-ends, ideas, thoughts and to contain all of them in one place. Brain dump lists can be made on either a digital app on your phone or computer, or on a physical paper journal.
The benefits of this exercise:
- Find a single place to contain your thoughts
- Looking at the sum of your thoughts over a period of time from a high level may allow you to make connections you couldn’t previously see. This is great for entrepreneurs and product development.
- Have you ever had a great idea but can’t remember an important detail? Check back in your brain dump log and it will be there waiting for you.
- Brings order to the chaos of today’s information overload, helping you to prioritize tasks and complete them.
- Provides a history of your ideas and work which you can tap into at any time in the future for brainstorming new ideas.
- Much like a computer, clearing the cache of your brain will improve performance and improve processing speed.
- Reduce the number of things…
