How To Do a Brain Dump
- Write down in a list all the tasks you can think of that's been provided to you
- Group the tasks together and sort them out from most urgent down to the ones with a flexible deadline
- For the tasks that are not-so-important, either you delegate them to someone else or you postpone them
- Delete distractions and make it a priority to delete them
- Afterwards, finish the task that takes the least amount of time to do and move forward from there.
