Clear Your Head
Brain Dump
Capture everything on your mind and organise each item into a useful category.
Use this when you are holding too many unrelated thoughts in working memory and want to move them into a visible list.
How this tool works
Each line you enter can be classified as an action, reminder, decision, worry, idea or something to ignore for now. The categories come from your own judgement.
How to read the result
Treat the organised list as a capture sheet. Actions can move into a plan, decisions can move into the Decision Helper, and items marked “Ignore for now” do not need attention today.
Example
A brain dump might contain a client deadline, an idea for next month, a personal reminder and a concern about an unanswered message. Classification prevents those different kinds of thoughts from competing as if they were all immediate tasks.
What to watch for
- Capture first and organise second. Editing every thought while you type can recreate the same mental load the tool is meant to reduce.
- Do not turn every worry into an action. Some concerns need information, another person or a deliberate later review.

Limitations
Use the result as a planning aid. ZeroStress tools do not diagnose stress, anxiety, burnout or any other medical or psychological condition. Financial tools provide arithmetic and scenario comparisons rather than personal financial advice. Important medical, legal, financial, safety or other professional decisions require appropriate professional advice.
Frequently asked questions
Is my brain dump stored?
The tool is designed to process entries in your browser and does not need to submit them to ZeroStress.
What should I do with the “Decision” category?
Move important decisions into the Decision Helper so you can compare options and factors separately.
