I tried doing a ‘brain dump’ every day for a week to declutter my mind, manage racing thoughts, and improve focus.

Summary

This article by Sarah Jackson, writing for Business Insider (Australia), makes the following points:

• A technique known as ‘brain-dumping’ reduces distractions and can improve your focus.
• According to psychologists, brain-dumping can help people who suffer anxiety, have racing thoughts, or tend to overthink things.
• Jackson found the technique helped clear her head and start her days more organized and prepared for the tasks ahead of her.
• At its core, brain-dumping involves ‘dumping’ all thoughts, worries and to-dos by writing them down.
