Brain Dump

A few years ago Monday morning was hitting me hard. It was a hard shock back into the gym after the weekend. I read somewhere about doing a brain dump to prevent yourself from feeling overwhelmed, and I use this strategy every week now.

I break out my notebook and scribble down anything that’s happening the upcoming week. When I’m coaching, meetings, phone calls and appointments.  I make note of when I’ll try to workout each day and then come up with a rough idea of what the intent of the workouts should or what I need to work on. Sometimes I’ll set some goals for the week too.

After spending 5 minutes doing this, I feel more prepared and more energized to take on the coming week. If you feel jet lagged on Monday morning, give the brain dump a shot.
