@Eve7  have you done a brain dump before?

[Shaz51]

Very true @Eve7 @Former-Member 

Yes I will have to have my book with me , it sure does well but sometimes I forget to write it

Not really @Former-Member @Shaz51 

This is the first time I’ve put everything down that was swirling around my head.

Trying not to think about what I’ve written is the hard part.

Hi All.

First time I've heard the term "brain dump", but it is something I have done from time to time. Sometimes writing out a page of more or less connected thoughts to help get them in order, sometimes writing down the "must remember" things so that I don't have to keep churning them over in my head to remember them.

I don't think I could face trying to do an "all at once" version @Former-Member . Too much, too overwhelming. I think taking just one or two questions from that list you put up would do me for quite a while.

Oddly, I just did a kind of mini-dump on social media, as a "post-Christmas-debrief"... inspired by the discussion on @Determined's thread. Trying to sort out what works for our family, and what doesn't, and inviting other people to do likewise. And doing it on social media means I have a friends list to keep me accountable.

As with all coping tools, what works for one might not work for another @Smc .

I certainly found that accountability is really helpful for myself, using this forum to report in my declutterering progress was ever so helpful.

Am thinking of doing another brain dump with a particular focus on the 8 dimensions of wellness. I have had quite a few thoughts around a few of these and feel that it might be a helpful exercise.
