I like a brain download rather than a brain dump, it sounds a bit more intentional to me.

I call it a brain dump too. Although I sometimes think of it in computer terms, like "the download" or something where we offload what's in our heads onto the page.

Yes, that's a great alternative name! Doing a download to create space on our hard drives to make room for the new and noteworthy. 👌

I have heard of the term "mind sweep" used as an alternative to that icky name! I've heard of several people who dislike the term!

Oh, I like that. I tend to use brain download but I rather like the idea of a clean sweep around all the slightly dusty crevices. Clearing out the cobwebby ideas that have been lingering for too long 🤣

Thank you for sharing! Mind sweep is much more palatable, I think!
