Personally I found simple to do lists and brain storming really helpful. I know it’s a daily challenge and sometimes it simply gets too much.. When I feel that my mind is full of noise and mental chatter I do journaling. It makes wonders to me to trow everything on a piece of paper, out of my mind. I feel lighter after and I can think more clearly after.⠀
