Ever sit down to focus and immediately rethink your entire life?
Ever notice how the moment you finally sit down to “focus,” your brain goes:
• remember this
• don’t forget that
• what if you did this instead
• quick idea, WRITE IT DOWN
• also, should you rethink everything?
That’s not procrastination.
That’s an unclosed-loop problem.
Most people try to solve this by:
❌ forcing discipline
❌ adding better tools
❌ shaming themselves into action
But here’s the counterintuitive fix I’ve seen work:
👉 Stop trying to optimize output
👉 Start by stabilizing input
A simple rule I follow:
If my mind is noisy, the task is probably too big for the state I’m in.
So instead of asking:
“What’s the smartest move?”
I ask:
“What’s the smallest honest move that reduces mental load?”
Reply to one message.
Name the decision instead of solving it.
Park the idea somewhere safe so my brain can let go.
Momentum comes after relief not before it.
This way of working is actually why I started building Klariti a community designed less around “doing more” and more around thinking without pressure (and yes, fewer open tabs).
Curious:
What’s one mental tab you’d love to close this week, even partially?
