This makes a lot of sense. I have problems with worry and anxiety even when I have excused myself from getting anything else "done" that day. I can have everything all tidy and still have this actual physical stress and a slight headache. I am going to try this, thanks very much for the idea. .-= carrie´s last blog ..Non-Day Days =-.

I tend to write down a LOT of stuff. My problem is, even though I have notebooks, I end up writing things down in many different notebooks just because I couldn't find THE one for jotting everything down. So that's what I need to work on. Designating one notebook and working hard at keeping track of it (which is hard to do in a household of 9 kids) .-= Samirah´s last blog ..Timed Essay Writing Prompts =-.

I have horrible memory. I do this very thing, but with a digital voice recorder. It goes in the pocket of my apron at home or in my jeans out the door. The recorder has 4 digital folders on it. I use one folder for things I need to pick up, one for things I need to do, one for things I need to tell people, and the last for recording meetings I go to so I won’t forget what was said or what I volunteered for. I try to go over the list at the end of the day and take care of what I can and calendar the rest. I have gone from a flighty, unreliable person to a responsible, dependable one in a matter of months.

I love your answer and brain-dumping is absolutely a great place to start. I need to be more consistent about carrying around a journal strictly for that purpose. I love to doodle and make lists, but they end up on numerous pieces of paper. Having one *beautiful* journal just for that purpose would serve me well.

I need to go write down “buy brain-dumping journal” HA!
