I don't do it all the time, usually just when I feel swamped with a bunch of different tasks. I also try to time box it, so no matter what I roll I work on it for a predictable length of time. I think the most effective part for me is not letting myself say no to whatever comes up - I just have to do my best. I feel like it's really helpful when I'm struggling to just set down and focus on one thing.

I am thinking about adding the brain dump to the project future sscope to ease cognitive load and willingless to switch to a new shiny idea lol Thanks a lot for sharing your experience!
