A brain dump clears your working memory by getting everything out of your head and into one place.
Assign a priority (urgent/high/medium/low), a deadline if there's a due date, a batch category for similar tasks, and flag it as โก 2-min if it'll take less than two minutes. You can also group tasks by project as well.
๐ก Do a full brain dump once a week. During the week just add things as they come to you.
โจ Today's 3
Prioritisation can be difficult, particularly when everything feels equally urgent. Limiting yourself to 3 tasks per day forces you to decide what actually matters, reducing overwhelm and decision fatigue.
Pick your 3 each morning. When they're done, your day is a success โ consider anything else as a bonus.
๐ก Choose 1 big thing, 1 medium thing, and 1 small thing. Variety keeps momentum going if you get stuck on one.
โก 2-Minute Tasks
If a task takes less than 2 minutes, the mental cost of managing it (tracking, worrying, rescheduling) is higher than just doing it. Filter your brain dump by โก during low-productivity hours and blast through them.
๐ก Do 2-min tasks in one batch. Clearing small things in one go gives you a dopamine boost and a cleaner list.
๐๏ธ Time Blocks
A visual timeline makes time feel real and finite, which forces realistic planning. Time blocking has been shown to be a successful way of managing your schedule and boosting productivity.
Batched tasks (e.g. emails) are grouped so you can schedule them together.
๐ก Don't schedule every minute. Tasks may take longer than expected and buffer time provides flexibility in your day.
โฑ๏ธ Timer
The pomodoro technique describes working with deep focus for a defined time chunk followed by a short break (e.g. 25 mins deep work, 5 min break). Set whatever feels right for you and ignore the classic 25-min rule if it disrupts your flow.
๐ก If you're in flow when the timer ends, keep going. If you're stuck, use it as permission to take a break.
๐ฟ Parking Lot
A place for ideas and thoughts that aren't ready to be tasks yet. Park them here mid-focus session so your brain can relax and you can keep going.
๐ก When a random idea or task pops into your head mid-focus session, park it immediately and keep going. Promote it to a real task later during your review.
๐ End of Day Review
Takes 5 minutes. Hit Close out today to save tomorrow's picks.
๐ก Do this at the same time each day to build the habit.
๐ธ Habits
Habit tracking works because it makes progress visible. Custom habits let you track anything else you want to build consistency around.
๐ก Start with 1โ2 custom habits maximum. Adding too many at once is the fastest way to abandon tracking entirely.
๐ Wins
Everything you've completed so you can look back and see real evidence of your progress.
๐ก Check Wins at the end of the week before planning the next one. It resets your perspective and helps you appreciate how much you actually do.
