Open loops will zapp your energy

I’m currently in Dubai.

And while I came here to sort out tax stuff and renew SIM cards…
what I’m really doing is closing tabs.

Making sure my business is running smoothly and taxes are in order is obviously a big one so I did that one first.

But there was another really big one that kept pulling me, updating the Life OS and launching the Life OS Club.

I hadn’t updated the dashboard.
I hadn’t recorded the walkthrough.
And the landing page still remained untouched.

It’s not that I didn’t want to.

It’s that I had 37 other mental tabs open too such as the agency, Notion YouTuber Academy, rebranding on YouTube, finalizing client projects.

And just like your laptop, even if you’re not using those tabs…
they’re still draining your RAM.

That’s what open loops do.

They don’t just “sit there.”

They quietly steal your focus, your energy, and your creative bandwidth, until it’s impossible for you to get into the flow state anymore.

Which is why this, I decided I’m going to do nothing else until the Life OS tab is closed.

I updated the Life OS.
I built the Life OS Club.
I recorded the onboarding.
I’m recording the walkthrough tomorrow.
Then I’m publishing the new landing page.
And this weekend, we’re doing the launch workshop.

Once that’s done, this loop is closed.

Not perfect.
Not polished.
But complete.

Because half-open projects are like unclosed apps on a computer.
They eat up your mind’s CPU.
They leave no room for new ideas.

It’s like finishing editing a video and not closing DaVinci or Premiere Pro and opening Netflix or a video game, everything is going to lag and be slow.

So before you open another tab, first close the ones you already have open.

You don’t need more time.
You need more mental bandwith.

So if your Life OS dashboard has been sitting in your Notion sidebar like a 3-month-old to-do list… Now’s the time to close the loop.

Joining the Life OS Club will help with that (it’s free for Life OS customers).

Let’s stop letting open loops steal from you.

Close the tabs.
Free the bandwidth.
Finish the damn thing.
