The Debrief. For Closing Loops.

The brain needs a signal that processing is complete. Without one, the loop keeps running.

How
  • Sit down immediately after — not hours later.
  • Set a timer for five minutes.
  • Write one sentence: what happened and what you would do differently.
  • When the timer ends, stop. Close it.
When
  • Immediately after any situation that is replaying in your head.
  • Do not wait. The longer you leave it, the more the loop embeds.
Why
  • The brain keeps unresolved situations active — open loops that compete for attention until closed. A written sentence and a hard stop close the loop.

PS. Five minutes. One sentence. Done.
