the brain dump ritual that clears space for better ideas
you’re not overwhelmed because you’re doing too much.
you’re overwhelmed because you’re holding too much.
this ritual clears space so your ideas can breathe again.
the tool: 4-step mind reset
do this every sunday night or monday morning.
give yourself 15 minutes, no distractions.
step 1: dump
write down everything on your mind.
no order, no filter. just get it out.
step 2: sort it
create 4 lists:
do (things you need to act on this week)
decide (things that need reflection or clarity)
delegate (things someone else can handle)
delete (things that don’t matter as much as you thought)
step 3: focus
circle your top 3 priorities from the do list.
just 3. everything else is extra.
step 4: close one loop
take 10 minutes to finish one small task from your list.
send the email. book the appointment. start the thing.
why it works
your brain stops running background tabs
you start your week clear, not scattered
you move with intention, not anxiety
want to try it today?
set a 15-minute timer.
open a blank page.
go through the steps.
end with one small action.
clarity comes when you create space for it.
this is your reset.
