About the Brain Dump Page

David Allen's core insight: the more you try to hold in your head, the less cognitive capacity you have for the work that matters. Every open loop consumes mental resources whether you're thinking about it or not. The Brain Dump page removes all of it.

★★★★★

The format range is what sets Groundwork apart. I use the Notion template during the week and print the A5 for weekends. Both are properly designed — not an afterthought.

★★★★★

Clean, purposeful design. No wasted space, no filler prompts. This is what a planning tool should look like — everything on the page earns its place.

★★★★☆

Third Groundwork product I've bought. The consistency across the range means everything works together. Filofax sizes are accurate and the greyscale printing is crisp.
