I first came across the mental inventory when I started using the Bullet Journal method.

Find the original explanation here.

  • Create it by rapid logging / brain dumping into three columns
    • Things I am working on
    • Things I should be working on
    • Things I want to be working on
  • Filter your Mental Inventory
    • Is it vital? If yes, keep;
    • Does this really matter to me or to someone I love? If yes, keep;
    • If this never gets done, will there be repercussions? If yes, maybe keep;
    • Otherwise drop it because it is a distraction.
  • Celebrate.
