love, love, love brain dumping and getting things done: http://simplemom.net/empty-your-brain-the-key-to-productivity

Just found this through The Shabby Nest- it’s SUCH a great idea! My husband always gives me a hard time for never being able to stop thinking of everything I need to get done. What a great way to get some of these things out of my head! Thanks for such a useful post!

Thank you! Thank you! Am trying this , starting today! My dreams explain to me how much I have trying to occur inside my little pea-brain. Focus is hard for me because I am now a sahm and always think – I can do that later.

I love Omnifocus because I carry it my list on my iphone and on my computer – this allows me to stay focused on the areas I am working in – household, errands, phone, computer, etc. Wherever I am, I have a list of things I need to do in that place with me. Especially helps with times I have waiting places I can find something else to do in that downtime. I love GTD and think it is a great ... See all content Hide content

I actually do this on a regular basis, but I didn’t know it was an actual system. My mind often fills up with ideas for posts and also things to do. Most of the time, I don’t write everything down. However, when it gets overwhelming I end up writing EVERYTHING down. It really does help. Most recently, I decided I have to complete several tasks/goals before the end of this year by removing ...

I love this idea! I have tried it the last couple days and it has helped so much. It was amazing how much I got done in an hour and a half this morning when I was not thinking about all the stuff I need to do later. I have always had an affinity for spiral notebooks. So I have started doing the brain dump in a spiral notebook and then paperclipping a pocket docket over it. I feel so much better. I ... See all content Hide content

I am slowly becoming more and more attached to this type of brian dumping and list making. Right now my routines consist of a dry erase board on the fridge that has space for each of the stores I regularly visit so when we are out of something I can just write it under the store I usually purchase it at and so when I go to that store there is my list already made out. I have just recently started putting ... See all content Hide content

I have a planner/notebook I lug around at all times.:) It has several different tabs-planner, project, memo, datafile & address. I have tweaked GTD to suit my personal needs as a home manager & member of the workforce. Here, I jot my to-do list/next actions. I use @phone, @home, @computer to categorize my next actions. I also schedule in my sons’ appointments with the doctor, my meetings ... See all content Hide content

I started writing everything down a year or two ago and I can’t believe how much more productive I am! I created my own Household Planner around the idea of being able to write out monthly and weekly to-do’s and goals that pertain to a busy mom’s life. My weekly planner sheet has to-do categories such as: personal, work/project related, financial, household, calls/emails, shopping ... See all content Hide content

Tsh,

This is the first time I have done this. What a great feeling to get it all out on paper and see where my mind is going. Now I have a clear head and an idea of what needs to be taken care of right now and what can wait until later. Thanks!

I’ve been doing a brain dump for a few weeks now and if I forget a day I can really tell. I get stressed and can’t focus on what NEEDS to get done. I just wrote my list for this morning now I’m off to conquer!

Thanks for the great advice!

I run a paper diary. It keeps everything from my day to day work, my sons many medical apts etc (too many to mention), the to do list and any other lists I make create and use. It is starting to fall apart now but a computer one is not set up in a way that I can easily use it at this stage. Perhaps it is just me.

I love the brain dump! I’ve been using a spiral notebook, and I love having all my notes and to-do lists in one place. Plus, using it everyday fulfills I craving I never really knew I had to use school supplies again! I LOVE my notebook and fine point, black pen. I am a complete nerd.

4 months, 2 weeks ago by Shannon @ AnchorMommy on Wordpress

I definitely have to write every…thing…down. And I completely agree- the most important thing is to jot all your notes, numbers, ideas, lists etc. in ONE PLACE, at least to begin with. Brook Noel’s book “The Change Your Life Challenge” refers to this as your “Catch-all” notebook for good reason. I keep a notebook in my purse at all times to catch all of my ...

I tried the daily docket and found that I give myself WAY too much to do. When I try to write everything down that I need to I find myself with an outrageous to do list. The flip side is if I don’t write it down my brain gets muddled. I’m really not sure what the solution is!

GTD is awesome. But as soon as I got my feet wet, I realized that as a mom and home manager, I just don’t have the same needs as a corporate exec. Tweaking GTD for the home can be challenging because we need to be far more flexible! I am very much looking forward to your interpretation. Right now I use a small spiral notebook with a pocket in the front. The pocket holds my small calendar and ... See all content Hide content

Great post! I’ve been keeping a ‘log book’ at work for about 10 years. Every phone call w/ number, meeting and my weekly to do list for the past 10 years is logged. When I don’t do it, I am lost and can’t focus.

I’ve tried to do the same thing at home but haven’t found a system that works. I like the idea of a white board.

I carry my notebook everywhere I go! I write everything down daily. If I’m on the computer and blog post ideas start overwhelming my thoughts I click open the TextEdit (on mac) and start typing everything real quick and go back and complete it at a later time.

Wow… never heard of this. So simple! The “mapping” method is something I’ve never thought of for just dumping out my brain. I always want to “journal,” but don’t have enough time for sentences and grammar on a daily basis since the birth of my daughter. Thanks!

I’ve also found that if I give myself some time at the END of the day as well, it is super helpful too– especially since many nights my mind is full and mulling over things when I should be unwinding and preparing for sleep. This process helps me get the stuff ... See all content Hide content
