Release Your Business Achiever With A Brain Dump
July 19, 2008
If you find yourself unable to get clarity in your business, please don’t feel like you are alone. Many entrepreneur have this issue; with all that is required to run your own company as well as try and have a personal life and family. When we find ourselves stuck in the trap of endless things that need to be done and to do lists that don’t get done, we pull out our own executive coaching brain dump exercise and get to work. After a short while using this exercise we are back on track and marching ahead in our business.
Business Achiever Brain Dump Exercise
First things, first. To begin to move toward what we most want, we must move to a place where we have balance in our life. The very first component of reaching balance is clearing the mental busy-ness present. From shopping lists to well-intentioned ‘to-dos’, the mind is a great clearing ground.
To begin the brain dump process, print the page and use the lines provided below to list all the things that are on your mind. For each item, note whether the thought of doing it is welcome (+), not welcome (-) or neither (=). You will need to tune into your body and quickly note what you feel when you either read it or say it aloud. This should not take more than a few minutes total for the entire list. Go with your first feeling and do not judge these feelings. This is your body’s way of showing you what you naturally want to do or don’t want to do in your life and business.
Keep in mind that each item on your brain dump list represents an energy + (bonus), energy – (drain) or energy = (neutral). For instance, sending a note to a friend just because you are thinking of her can be an energy +, and even though the note isn’t likely to be a priority, you get an added bonus of more energy to accomplish more items on your list.
Energy Strategy: If you have a hard time getting started on accomplishing items on your list, choose three energy + items then move on to energy – items or energy = items.
EXERCISE
This exercise will infuse you with energy! After you complete listing your items, for the next week, work through your list. Notice which items are the hardest to start/complete, and list each here with notes about the thoughts that come to your mind before attempting to do it. Do not judge your inaction, simply notice what arises when you think of taking action. Acknowledge those items you do complete by crossing them out with a large, wide-tipped marker:

Got something to say?
This sounds like a very solid and simple way to unclutter our mental lists and break through procrastination. Nothing breeds achievement like achievement, after all.
