In today's episode, we explore the concept of open loops and how they can create chaos in our minds. Inspired by the work of David Allen, author of "Getting Things Done," we discuss the challenges of having unfinished commitments and projects that constantly occupy our thoughts. It's like having too many tabs open in our browser, slowing down our productivity and energy.

We explore the Zeigarnik effect, discovered by psychologist Bluma Zeigernik, which explains our brain's tendency to focus on incomplete tasks. This tendency can lead to anxiety, decreased sleep quality, reduced productivity, and even procrastination. But fear not, we also discuss practical strategies to help close these open loops and restore calm and focus in our lives.

So join me as we unpack the impact of open loops and discover ways to regain clarity, peace, and energy in our minds. Let's dive into the episode and learn how to thrive amidst the chaos.

xoxo,

Denise Christenson Rae
