90-second brain dump
Type whatever is occupying your mind. Don’t edit, don’t organise. The clock starts when you start typing and stops after 90 seconds. What you write stays on this page.
Loading the 90-Second Brain Dump…
How it works
- Click into the box and start typing. That starts a 90-second timer. There’s nothing to set up.
- Write whatever comes: worries, to-dos, half-thoughts. Don’t fix spelling or order. You can finish early.
- When time is up, you can copy what you wrote, or just let it go. It is never sent anywhere or stored, and it’s gone when you leave the page.
What your result means
A brain dump isn’t a plan. It’s a way to get things out of your head and onto a page so you can see them. Often a few real tasks and a few things that don’t need doing at all stand out.
This is a wellbeing exercise, not treatment or diagnosis. If your thoughts feel overwhelming, please talk to someone you trust or a qualified professional.
Why write it down first
Holding everything in your head takes effort. Writing it down without organising it lowers the bar: you can sort it afterwards, or not at all.
Timeboxing helps too. Ninety seconds is short enough to start immediately and long enough to get past the first, obvious thoughts.
Frequently asked questions
Where does my writing go?
Nowhere. It stays in this page’s memory in your browser. It isn’t sent to BalanceIt, saved on your device, or included in any analytics. If you refresh or leave, it’s gone.
What should I write?
Anything on your mind: things you need to do, things you’re worried about, things you don’t want to forget. Don’t aim for good sentences.
Can I keep what I wrote?
Yes. When the timer ends you can copy the text to paste into a note or document. Nothing is copied unless you press the button.
Does it help with anxiety?
Many people find writing things down makes them feel lighter, but this is not treatment or diagnosis. If you’re struggling, please reach out to a qualified professional.
