Most of us have specific tasks we continually avoid for weeks, months or even years. These open loops can range from simple (can be completed within a minute or two) to complex (more time consuming).
What do these tasks all have in common? They take up mental bandwidth and deplete your energy.
We share specific examples of open loops and a system to close the loops in your life.
In this episode, we discuss:

0:00.0 | Hi, I'm Arnie Wasserman with Jesse Chappas from the Ultimate Health Podcast. |
0:09.2 | Welcome back to another Focus Friday, where we give you short bursts of information and |
0:13.7 | inspiration to set your weekend off on the right foot and we're super |
0:18.4 | excited to bring you guys another focus Friday and today we are focusing on closing the loops in your life. |
0:25.0 | And if you listen to our episode 300 you might remember we mentioned this |
0:30.0 | quickly and how this was something we are working on in our day-to-day life and it's |
0:35.3 | something that we've done in a really relaxed way to this point but we decided to |
0:40.5 | put together an episode go into the details and as we did that, we came up with a formula |
0:46.1 | that will probably end up applying to our own life and taking this closing the loop to the next level. |
0:52.1 | And we also came up with a bit of an informal definition as well just so we can give you |
0:56.4 | perspective on what this means and also so that you can go ahead and apply it to your life. |
1:02.0 | So really what it is is completing those |

1:08.6 | mind and what this will ultimately do is relieve you from all that background |
1:12.2 | noise freeing up your mind. |
1:14.4 | So once you complete those tasks and you all know what those are, those annoying tasks that |
1:19.7 | you've been hanging on to for maybe weeks, months, years, and then you get it done, it feels |
1:25.1 | very cathartic. It feels really good to finish that could be very mundane |
1:31.2 | task, but it's also very necessary. |
1:34.0 | And I think the difference between this and a typical to-do list is the fact that if you have a |
1:38.1 | to-do list it's often for things we want to get done that day examples to let people fully grasp what we mean by |
1:49.1 | this and I think you touched on it a little bit there. It's things that are often with us for long periods of time. |
