Aaargh! That feeling when your head is so full of thoughts and ideas and worries and things to do that you can’t THINK straight.
I get it, BUT I have a tip for you, to help you free up some mental bandwidth and help you get back in control of your to-do list. It’s called a BRAIN DUMP.
💡 When that ‘full head’ feeling starts, grab a piece of paper and a pen, make yourself a cuppa and start writing down EVERYTHING TAKING UP SPACE IN YOUR HEAD.
✒️ Everything. Appointments. Blogs you need to write. Classes you need to watch. Things you need to buy. What you’re making for lunch. Random thoughts about your business. A vague nagging doubt that you haven’t paid a bill. Everything. Do a brain dump and get it all out on paper where you can see it.
❌ THEN start crossing out all the things that you don’t need to worry about (you might be amazed how many totally useless thoughts and worries are clogging up your brain space).
🗒️ NEXT make a list of jobs that really do need doing and schedule them in to get done. It’s even better if you can single out the really short jobs like quick emails and calls that you can do while waiting around for other things.
⚖️ FINALLY take a look at what’s left and decide there and then what to do about it – if it needs ‘thinking’ time then book it in. If it’s a huge decision, book in time to consider it. You get the idea.
✅ By the end of this you should have a huge list of crossed out things, plus an actionable jobs list and a bunch of stuff scheduled in your calendar. Oh and a clear brain with lots of mental bandwith to get on with your business.
😍 Do this as often as required. You’ll be surprised at how good it makes you feel.
Love, Claire xx
