Too much on your mind? Do a brain dump with Superlist and sleep better

Do you ever crawl into bed only to find your thoughts racing with everything you need to remember? From unfinished work projects to groceries, unanswered emails, or that birthday gift you cannot forget, your brain keeps spinning. Instead of resting, you lie awake with stress and reminders on repeat.

The truth is simple: your brain is not designed to store endless tasks. It is designed to think and solve problems. When you overload it, you get stress, poor sleep, and less focus the next day.

The solution is a brain dump.

What is a brain dump?

A brain dump is the practice of clearing your mind by writing down everything that is on it. By unloading tasks, reminders, and even random thoughts into Superlist, you free up mental space. Your brain can finally relax because it knows nothing important will be forgotten.

Think of it as decluttering your mind before bed. Just as you would tidy up your desk, you tidy up your thoughts so you can sleep better and wake up with more clarity.

Why brain dumps help you sleep better

  • Clear mental clutter: Free up space in your head by putting everything in Superlist.

  • Reduce anxiety: Seeing your tasks in one place makes them feel more manageable.

  • Improve sleep quality: When your brain trusts that your to-dos are safe, it stops reminding you at 2am.

  • Boost productivity: You start the next day with focus instead of confusion.

How to do a brain dump with Superlist

  1. Open your Inbox in Superlist before bed.

  2. Write down everything on your mind. Add tasks, reminders, even vague ideas. Do not worry about order or priority.

  3. Leave the sorting for tomorrow. In the morning, decide on importance, move tasks into the right lists, set due dates, or assign them to teammates.

  4. Close Superlist and close your eyes. Your mind can rest knowing Superlist has it covered.

This simple nightly habit takes only a few minutes but can transform how you feel in the evening and how refreshed you are in the morning.

  • Superlist is an amazing app — simple, beautiful, and extremely convenient. I use it to manage my projects, keep shopping lists, and organize my life, and it works flawlessly. What I love the most is that the app isn’t overloaded — it has exactly what’s needed, and it does it perfectly. The design is stunning, the little details like sounds really stand out, and overall it just feels great to use. I rarely ever leave reviews, but this app truly deserves it.

    Superlist is powerful and very well made. Love the ability to create tasks straight from taking notes, no need to swap apps or screens.

    I downloaded this app at the start of 2025 and it was immediately great - though It had a few flaws as was to be expected from a startup. Over the last 3 months or so it has become absolutely amazing!! It is now a key part of my daily routine and is super easy to use on all my devices and the new features that are being added (seemingly monthly) are incredibly helpful in managing my life and businesses.

  • I have tried a ton of to-dos and notes apps and, despite not being the most feature rich, its the one that has worked the best. There's power in simple but flexible system. It's the equivalent of having a pen and paper, with a dedicated space to sort out your task accross your notes. When comes the time to complete a task: open it, braindump the process. Need to break it down even more, just make a new task inside that task, and open it up. The seamless fusion of notes and task is its greatest strength.

    This could be best overall app for managing tasks with a simple to do list. It takes the best of Notion and offers it in a clean, elegant and user-friendly UI.

    Excellent app! I used to use Google Tasks, then Todoist, and now with Superlist I feel like it's a combination of Todoist and Notion. I love it and feel so comfortable.
