Do a Brain Dump

When you feel like your head is racing from one task to another and TO DOs are all mixing together and causing your head to spin, it is time to stop. I call this a 'brain dump.' It's time to dump it all out.

Get a notebook and a pen. Then dump all your thoughts, worries, ideas, TO DOs, and everything you are thinking onto your paper. Fill up as many pages as it takes until nothing more comes out of your head.

Then go through and highlight each:

GREEN: Things YOU absolutely need to DO
BLUE: Things you MIGHT NOT or DON'T need to do
ORANGE: Things SOMEONE ELSE can do
PINK: Things you have NO CONTROL over

The paper can hold all of your thoughts so you don't have to. Plus, it gives you a tool you can use to:

a) get things done...GREEN. Move these to your Master List or TO DO TODAY list.

b) cross unnecessary items off your list...BLUE. If it's really not going to impact your life in a positive way, why do it at all? Sometimes, we do things because of habit. Sometimes, there comes a point when we should just stop doing some things (like a social club you're no longer interested in, a book you don't feel like completing, etc.)

c) delegate to the appropriate person...ORANGE. If you can give it to someone else to do, pass it on today.

d) let the paper hold your worries for you...PINK. Worrying will get you nowhere fast. Determine if there is something 'actionable' you can do to help the situation instead.

For super quick details, and a great video, about the world's sharpest knives, visit:

Did you know that there's nothing more dangerous in the kitchen than cutting with dull knives? A dull blade requires more effort and pressure to cut. This means there's a higher chance the dull knife will slip with a lot of force behind it, increasing the chances of an injury...and possibly a visit to the ER.

This particular set of knives is very unique. They're incredibly lightweight and are super-strong (they can easily cut through a butternut squash and makes slicing meat a breeze). This is because they're made with a ceramic blade that is actually 10 times sharper than steel.

You've got to check them out. For details, visit:
