7 Good Minutes: Extra - Close Three: A Simple Bedtime Habit for Unfinished Tasks

Those small things still sitting open in your mind — the text you haven't answered, the form you haven't finished, the appointment you haven't booked — are quietly pulling at your attention all day, even when you're not thinking about them directly.

Call it Close Three. In the last few minutes before bed tonight, write down the three smallest things still sitting open in your mind. Instead of doing them, decide exactly when you will — a specific day, even a rough time. That's the whole step.

You're not finishing anything tonight. You're closing the loop that keeps pulling at your attention, and many people notice mornings feel a little less cluttered after just a few nights of it.
