Refresh Brain Dump Journal | Navy

I love having a notebook specifically for the purpose of getting all of the things in my head out and then having the ability to sort it all out. For that, this journal is a great fit. I love the softer cover (I miss those on the PowerSheets), and the thickness of the paper. My only criticism is that it's a bit of a pain to open and close. I don't know if the spiral is too thick or if the holes are too small but it keeps tearing the paper and is slowly wearing down the very bottom hole. To avoid further damage I've started just leaving it open to the most recent used page. I've tried bending it a little but it is a nice heavy duty spiral so that didn't really work.

I bought the gold stripe Brain Dump Journal to go with my 2026 Berry PS. I LOVE the combo. The gold stripe is honestly my favorite cover yet. It’s so pretty just laying on my desk! And looks professional! The Brain Dump journal has become my go-to scratch pad for all the random thoughts that pop into my head at the most inopportune times! It’s perfect for project planning and breaking down to-do lists. It’s true what they say “There’s more room on the outside than on the inside!” That makes the BDJ the perfect partner for our busy minds!

I want to love this but I cannot, simply because I the way the wires are bent will not allow me to flip the pages all the way back onto itself and creates a bump. It is this one detail that makes me not really want to use it because it’s really driving me crazy.

This came just in time for the holidays and the New Year and it has been so helpful for navigating the billions of tasks and thoughts swirling around in my brain. The brain dump itself takes about 10 minutes and that step alone relieves so much overwhelm. If your on the fence about it, might I suggest you just take the leap and give it a try? I did and I have zero regrets.

This book is packed with function and helps me feel less overwhelmed when my mind is racing with all the things I need to do. I can see this being a crucial tool in my planning routine. As a mom who often has to run the household solo (husband travels for work), it's so important to get all this stuff on paper so nothing falls through the cracks. This notebook was gifted to me by CWM for review, but I will absolutely purchase this with my own money as soon as I fill it up. It's so pretty and well made too!

Best product!

The gold stripes is my second brain dump journal, and I'm so glad I purchased. The pages are thick and the color scheme is very nice. If you're on the fence - go for it!

This is a great way to organize and think through all the things. If you are a list-maker, this is a helpful way to get those lists organized into action.

I have purchased these journals multiple times and don't know what I would do without them. They are beautiful and helpful for so many different lists or anything that I need to put down on paper. I have them in at least one of every color :)

I absolutely love having a designated space (that is also pretty) to capture all that is going on in my brain. I often have multiple personal and work projects going on simultaneously and this journal truly helps to keep it all in one central location. I love the suggestions for how to use it and the variety of pages allows for creativity.

Nice way to keep my lists organized

Love this planner!! It’s my 2nd one. I use it for work and personal life, it’s invaluable for helping me get thoughts out of my head and corralled on paper.

I love the navy color. The guidance within the journal is so helpful!!! The square grid on one page and the 4 quadrants on the other page are game changers. The cover however gets easily scratched and I've had it less than a week. I would love a stronger, sturdier, less easily scratched cover.

This is a game changer! I don't know why I didn't order it sooner. It has everything I need in one place: brain dump pages, checklists, master lists, free journaling pages, and more. Plus, the smooth paper, elegant design with the gold coil, and all the helpful guidance in the front make it even better. I simply love it!

I love these. Good paper, love the spiral, smooth binding. This navy is very smart looking.

I love the flexible approach of the brain dump notebook with different sheets and lots of ideas on different ways to use a brain dump. It really helps me get out my thoughts and then get moving on what matters instead of spinning my wheels.

Beautiful and practical!!

The Brain Dump journal is an amazing tool for reducing stress and increasing productivity. Its thoughtful and flexible design is useful for tackling daily to-do’s, planning a big event or project, and so much more. Highly recommend if you want to take list-making to the next level!

This notebook has become the foundation of my 2026. I can brain dump then list the pertinent tasks. Instead of 100 post-its everywhere, all the info is in one place. Love the alternative descriptions that were given for the Eisenhower matrix.

I will start by saying, could you open a blank notebook and do the brain dump process in that? Yes! Would it be cheaper? Yes. So why buy the journal? All of Cultivate’s products are incredibly intentional and thoughtful. The prep work in the book to help you learn how to brain dump, is one of the reasons I bought the journal. Since, I’ve been using it I can change how I organize my thoughts depending on my needs. I’ve done week-to-week, but I also used it to plan Thanksgiving and what I needed to prepare, the week before, days before, night before, and day of. I can move fluently between how I need to use the journal. It is so helpful! I love it! The mental decision making process is gone, because the journal has everything already laid out for me. Love the journal!

I didn’t realize how much I would enjoy this journal, but I LOVE it! With just the first use, my intentional productivity for the week skyrocketed. I started with a brain dump of my to do list and then transferred it over in a more organized way to the Fresh Start Weekly Goal Planner. Super helpful process! I feel sure this will be the first of many that I order. I hope they continue releasing more cover options. :)

This journal is beautiful and oh so functional. The beginning pages explain the brain dump process so well. Lovely!

I love this notebook. It helps me make sense of everything when I’m feeling overwhelmed.

I purchased the "Refresh Brain Dump Journal | Wildflower" when I saw what the journal was for I was so excited because this is what I need and have been told to do! Now that I have the journal and have been using it it was worth every penny! It's well made and I love the wildflower cover is bright and inviting!

I was writing my brain dumps on a sheet of paper each week. Having this journal helps to keep me
organized week to week.

Love this brain dump journal!
The different pages - quadrant, list, open - are extremely helpful.
