• Why energy leaks aren’t always visible

• 3-step process to reclaim focus before the year ends

Close the Loops That Drain You

You can’t scale clarity if your mind is cluttered.

🧠 ONE Smart Idea

Most founders run into friction not because they’re overworked…
…but because they’re over-open.

There are too many open loops:

• Half-made decisions

• Unsent replies

• Unprocessed thoughts

• Ideas hanging in limbo

You might not see them.
But your nervous system feels every single one.

Looped attention = Leaked energy.

And as long as those loops stay open, you’ll keep experiencing:

• Low-grade anxiety

• Scattered focus

• Decision fatigue

• Background guilt

Today, we clean the system.

📖 Story Spark

One of the biggest upgrades I made this year had nothing to do with strategy.

It was this simple shift:

That meant fewer Slack threads I ghosted.
Fewer decisions I delayed.
More moments of closure—on purpose.

Not because I needed to be a machine.

Because I needed my energy back.

⚙️ Tactical Application: Run a Year-End Loop Audit

This is less of a productivity hack, more of a mental detox.

Step 1: List the Open Loops

Take 15 minutes. Brain dump everything still taking up mental real estate:

• “Should reply to…”

• “Still need to decide if…”

• “Haven’t closed the loop on…”

• “Keep meaning to…”

• “Still wondering about…”

You’ll feel lighter just writing them down.

Step 2: Sort with the 3C Filter

Next to each loop, tag it:

• Complete: Close it. Today. Doesn’t have to be perfect.

• Calendar: Schedule it. Give it a future, so it leaves your now.

• Cancel: Let it go. Declare it non-essential. Energy returned.

This is where momentum builds.

Step 3: Close with a Ritual

Pick one “Complete” loop that’s been draining you all quarter.
Close it with care. Even a voice memo, message, or decision note will do.

Then end with this phrase:

Let your nervous system feel the shift.
