POV: you’re scrolling through your tabs and feeling like your brain’s on fire. Those 10 tabs open? That unsent DM? The half-written note? They’re not just clutter—they’re tiny vampires sipping your mental juice. You think you’re just “saving for later,” but your brain’s like, “Nope, I’m running this loop in the background.” It’s not about productivity; it’s about peace of mind.
Here’s the thing: your brain isn’t a productivity machine. It’s a chaos magnet. Every open loop—whether it’s a decision you postponed or a tab you’ll “read later”—feels like a tiny itch you can’t scratch. You’re not lazy; you’re just letting your mind overthink. The fix? Close the loop. That means replying to that DM with “I’ll get back to you next week,” deleting the tab you’ll never open, or writing down “not doing this” like it’s a real task. The goal isn’t perfection—it’s peace.
I used to think closing loops was a cop-out. But once I started, I noticed something: my brain felt lighter. No more that low-level buzzing at the end of the day. It’s like unloading your mental backpack. You’re not getting more done, but you’re not carrying the weight of unfinished stuff. People underestimate how much energy uncertainty steals. Your brain craves closure, not chaos.
So here’s the takeaway: treat tiny tasks like open-ended texts. Give them a clear end, even if it’s just “not doing it.” Delete the tabs. Reply to the DM. Write down the note and cross it off. Your brain will thank you. And honestly? You’ll feel way less like a human spreadsheet.
