It's normal to feel exhausted, drained and over-stimulated so this exercise I read in the [Bullet Journal method from Ryder Carroll](https://bulletjournal.com/pages/book) helps to alleviate that feeling and even ***kick-start an unplanned planning session*** to put some order in your life. But don't worry this activity could be completely ignored after done, and that's ok. The whole point is **liberating your mind**, detox your emotional state and **being in the present** for what matters the most in the moment, **instead of being kidnapped by the brain fog**. ### These are the steps to follow: 1. [ ] **Create a new note** in your preferred Notes' App or take a piece of paper 2. [ ] **Write all in your head** and keep writing until you reach peace of mind 3. [ ] **Categorize** using topic tags aside every sentence or paragraph 4. [ ] **Rewrite only the "actionable" stuff** under the respective tags you made 5. [ ] **Create projects** and break into tasks until you're done with your list 6. [ ] **Add those as events** (deadlines) into your calendar That's it! You have now certain peace, a clear path and maybe some stuff discarded as not important or priority at the moment. But you can keep track of your thought. You can save some ideas for later. So here's some extra steps to nurture your "Second Brain", "Digital Garden", or "Ecosystem of notes" ### Optional steps: 1. [ ] **Rewrite the notes** left in the original list so you can revisit them later: 1. [ ] Use a tag, link or folder as "Resources for later" or "Areas of life: Work, Money, Home, Family...". 2. [ ] **Add day and time** to the original note and move it to your "Archive" folder.
