What is an ADHD brain dump?
A brain dump is getting every open loop out of working memory and onto paper. For ADHD brains, a blank page is often too much decision. This sheet tells you what to do: one thought per line, no sorting yet.
How to use this page
- Set a five-minute timer if that helps you start.
- Write everything that is looping, tasks, worries, texts you owe.
- Stop when the timer ends or the page is full.
- If you have energy, circle one line and write a 30-second first move.
You do not have to finish the list. Evacuation counts.
When one page is not enough
