Brain Dumping

What is Brain Dumping?

Brain dumping, also known as mind dumping, is a productivity technique where you offload all the thoughts, ideas, tasks, and worries swirling in your head onto an external medium, such as a notepad, document, or voice recorder. The goal is to clear your mental space, improve focus, and reduce stress by externalizing your internal clutter. It’s not about organizing or prioritizing information at this stage; it’s about getting everything out. This can lead to improved clarity, better decision-making, and increased creative flow.
