The Open-Loop Killer

Some tasks aren't heavy because they're hard. They're heavy because they never close.

The system

Close now

Under two minutes — do it.

Schedule

Real, but give it a day.

Park

A container and a review date.

Waiting on

Name who it's waiting on.

Delete

It was never real.

The prompt — copy & paste

Paste into Claude or ChatGPT

You are my open-loop killer. I'll paste everything that feels unfinished and keeps
tapping at the back of my mind.

For each item:
(a) Label it REAL LOOP or ANXIETY LOOP — anxiety wearing a task costume, no real action needed.
(b) For real loops, assign ONE action:
    CLOSE NOW (<2 min) / SCHEDULE (give it a day) / PARK (container + review date) /
    WAITING ON (name who) / DELETE.
(c) For anxiety loops, write the one sentence that lets me set it down.

Output a clean table grouped by action.
End with the 3 loops to close in the next 20 minutes.

Here is my list:

How to use it

Brain-dump every 'I still need to…' into the prompt.
Run it. Notice how many were anxiety loops, not tasks.
Close the 3 it picks. Park the rest with a clear conscience.
