I love this! I relate so much to the brain dump. I definitely need to get into the habit of doing this in one place so I can free up brain space for other things. This is so relatable.

The brain dump is so helpful! I’ve started carrying a little notebook around with me so my scattered to-do lists aren’t quite as scattered. It helps me free up brain space throughout the week, too!

Love this, Liz! I’m forever searching for the “perfect” organizational system. Every new calendar I buy a paper planner and I’m full of joy and great intentions… but I make it all of like two months before I ditch it. I’ve tried getting more organized with my Google calendar instead. Ugh. The cycle continues with moving from one method to the next. I love this Sunday brain dump idea. There are so many floating tasks that are lost in my brain and get bumped week after week. I’m digging into Kendra Adachi’s new book, The Plan (https://www.thelazygeniuscollective.com/theplan) — reminding me of some of what you’ve shared here!

I LOVE Kendra and really liked The Plan!! So many of her principles have made their way into my life. And I'm so glad to hear that I'm not alone in my annual paper planner dreams that are similarly dashed (I usually end up using mine like a journal, ha). I don't think there is a perfect process -- our needs and circumstances are always changing! -- so I'm trying to give myself grace with the imperfect.
