Its such a great way to display steps to organize mental clutter…..in the personal sense of experiencing life, I would not go that far as to assign the amount of hours to each category of “life” one has…cause then it would become too tedious for me. But for the rest of the chores, furniture repairs, dogs time (or cats), its definitely something I will use as a guide to further organize clutter piled up in my brain, ty for sharing !!! blessings.

I liked reading this, thank you. Google Docs in conjunction with Google Calendar is how I personally do this. Mind you it still needs a lot of work, but it’s a start.

Have to agree with some others, great article, cool solution but I feel overwhelmed just thinking about taking on this approach.

I’ve already got tons of written ideas and actions and plans and I’m only just keeping my head above water .. some of the time.

Maybe putting all this stuff in my head and on paper into an online version where I can trap it and see it and organise it may be the way forward for me.

Thanks for the thought provoking!

I always find recognizing personal behavior patterns is invaluable. As per Tim Ferriss (I saw he was quoted), I think considerable time needs to be spent on deciding what actually needs to be done. Besides external clutter, there are usually numerous facets of internal clutter that are self-imposed responsibilities that may not actually be imposing. Removing the internal clutter may be a more difficult task, but it makes the externalities seem exponentially less daunting.

Awesome article! Found this when Stumbling…

I would suggest that for your Brain Dumps you use an online tool that you can search and review later, and then copy and paste to further prioritize down the road.

I use Penzu to keep a personal (and private) journal, but when I have a lot going on, I just do a dump of all my thoughts and I instantly relax. I also don’t have to worry that my thoughts are lost or around the house somewhere on a piece of paper—they are in my private diary!
