It’s been so helpful for me to dedicate time to just clearing thoughts. I like the timer and the ability to sort it all out afterwards!

Would recommend to a friend

Brain drain is super easy to use. With the timer it makes doing daily exercises more doable. The platform is very straightforward and user friendly. Would recommend to anyone who has found daily journaling to be overwhelming.
