The Overthinking Tax

We blame our burnout on long hours and endless tasks.

But that's not what drains us most.

The real culprit?

Our minds never stop spinning when open loops are present — especially with unclear tasks. We agonize over missing context. We replay conversations searching for meaning. We question decisions made with incomplete information.

When we have clarity, we're in flow.

When we lack it, we're in friction.

Strange truth: You can work for hours on a defined project and feel energized...But ten minutes of wrestling with ambiguity can leave you exhausted.

The solution isn't to think less.

It's to close the loops before they start spinning.
