Scheduled Brain Dump Motivation#

Tweet

I scheduled a brain dump.  A well needed brain dump.  What is a brain dump?  It is a task you perform to clear out the clutter in your surroundings, in your life, in your brain.( my definition)

 I didn’t realize I needed one so bad until the beginning of last month.

The “brain dump” signs.

1. You feel like you are running in circles instead of accomplishing any tasks

2. You don’t have any ambition to tackle a project or task that you know would bring in potential cash flow

3. You avoid work by playing on twitter or facebook.  (me,me and me)

   ~by the way you can find me on twitter @dawnaurora or facebook at Dawn Hulslander-Shaffer.

4. The “I just can’t do it” attitude

5.  Most small problems, when nourished with procrastination, will grow bigger and bigger. Zig Ziglar

~me,me, and me again

Put away the “I just cannot do it” attitude, procrastination, twitter and facebook or whatever is getting in your way.  Roll up you pants and get moving.  Take back your days by scheduling a brain dump.

Okay like I said I scheduled mine otherwise it would never get done.  I wrote  it in big red letters in my procrastinators book.  I knew if I did not do it that day I would not feel good about myself.  

Think of it this way.  You get going on this well needed task and it will remove all those obstacles that make you feel like you are running in circles.

Beginning my day:

1. Take a walk.  Kind of collect your thoughts of how you want to tackle this

2. Take a nice warm shower and relax

3. Head over to your designated area and start

Now once you are in your designated area write down anything that you can think of that weighs on your mind.  

Lets see…

Do you have any lose ends?  Do you have any clustered areas?  Do you have unfinished orders, ideas, products?

How I categorized:
1. Loose ends that need tied up – things promised to people and not yet done. Things that have been weighing on you.
2. Immediate to do’s in and around the house
3. Immediate to do’s online- Things I know will improve my blog and website. Avenues to bring in more cash flow.

How I would prioritize:
1. get tasks done that weigh on you the most
2. apply deadline dates to your list
3. outsource/ delegate any of the tasks

Write, write, write.

Just start to write whatever comes to mind. When I started writing everything came pouring out. For me, even the task of writing the list out relieved some stress.

Remove those obstacles that are interfering with you motivation.  Be on your way to a better you.
