Mind Sweep: The Best Way To Reduce Overwhelm In Your Business
Ever feel like you have ALL the ideas and clutter swirling around in your mind? Then conducting a mind sweep is a productivity technique you definitely need to learn!
Like most entrepreneurs (and aspiring ones), we’re so often dealing with tornadoes of thoughts and ideas in our head every day all day! I like to call it “entrepreneurial brain,” it’s a powerful and beautiful thing!
But without the proper tools and outlets to organize it all, we quickly find ourselves going down rabbit holes and chasing every shiny thing out there, not to mention feeling scattered, overwhelmed, and ultimately anxious (and no one has time for that).
Go From Overwhelmed To Organized With A Mind Sweep
It’s not your fault, your mind has too many damn tabs open! That’s right, just like a computer. When a computer has too many tabs open, it’s reaching its max capacity of storage space, so it starts to run slow and gets bogged down. This is exactly how our mind works too.
Most of the time we have way too many tabs open and nowhere good to store all that information for a later date, or a systemized way to organize it. We’re left constantly trying to remember things and/or worried we’ll forget something (which we will), and that it might fall through the cracks (which it will). No wonder you feel so anxious!
Clearing Your Mind Should Be The First Of Your Day!
When you keep things bottled up in your mind, your mind will try it’s best to remember it for you. It literally will keep reminding you over, and over, and over again, desperately trying to store it all for a later date. And this is why you keep feeling anxious- not because you’re failing, but because your brain is trying so hard not to!
Your mind is trying to keep those things in the forefront for you, and honestly, they probably don’t need to be! It’s so easy to get into the habit of thinking everything is important and it all needs to be done a.s.a.p… but that’s just not true.
So, what can you do to manage ALL those thoughts and ideas? How can you alleviate all that overwhelm and anxiety?
The answer is to ‘sweep’ your mind of all thoughts taking up space!
It’s also called a brain dump (but I prefer Mind sweep), coined by one of my favorite productivity gurus, David Allen.
Mind sweeps are the perfect first step to getting your thoughts and ideas under control, sorted, and organized!
Just imagine how amazing it would feel to:
Get all your thoughts and ideas out of your head
Written down in a single place (not 5 different sticky notes and 3 journals)
Everything organized and assigned a category
Clarity on which “shiny things” you should be prioritizing and which ones can wait
Confidence that you aren’t forgetting things
I can tell you… it feels awesome!
