Doing a brain dump

When your head is full of a hundred half-thoughts, a brain dump clears the noise. You write it all out, and Molehill turns the pile into a tidy, prioritized list.

1. 1

   Open Brain Dump

   Go to the Brain Dump screen and just start typing. Lines, sentences, fragments: it all works. Do not worry about order or grammar.

2. 2

   Empty your head

   Get it all out: errands, worries, that thing you keep forgetting. The messier the better. Sorting comes after.

3. 3

   Let it sort

   Tap to sort, and Molehill reads what you wrote and groups it into clear tasks across categories like home, work, errands, people, and self-care.

4. 4

   Review and keep

   Look over the suggested tasks. Change a category, mark something urgent, drop anything you do not want, then add the rest to your list.

Once a brain-dump item becomes a task, you can break it down into steps just like anything else. Not sure when to dump versus break down one thing? Dump when your mind is crowded and you are not even sure what the tasks are; break down a single task when you already know the one thing you are avoiding.
