Whenever we have open tasks on our mind and in our life, they carry mental and emotional overhead. You’ll be surprised how many open loops you’ve created over time. While your conscious mind has grown accustomed to them, your subconscious mind has not. Closing these open loops can drastically reduce mental anguish.
Some open loops have become invisible to us. Pretend a stranger is about to come into your environment, or better yet, the person you know with the highest standards. What would they notice? Now fix it.
Closing forgotten open loops will not only reduce the invisible overhead that makes everything you do more difficult, the sense of progress will impart momentum to anything you do next.
