Summary
The real blocker is unclosed loops
She frames being stuck as carrying too many half-decisions in your head, not lacking capability. Progress feels lighter once those loops are closed, so the goal is to externalize and resolve decisions instead of holding them mentally.
Build a 'Close Loop' agent with Claude
The system forces each item to a decision (make it now or consciously park it) and captures the deferred ones, so nothing stays half-open in your mind.
Two ways to set it up
Option A (simplest): a Claude Project named 'Close Loop' with system instructions and saved daily/weekly command templates, run in one thread you reset weekly. Option B (more tool-like): a Claude Code folder with system.md, daily.md, and weekly.md prompt files you reuse.
A daily plus weekly rhythm
A Daily Close Loop command works through open decisions each day; a Weekly Close Loop Reset runs a structured review and starts a clean cycle. Her exact prompt templates are shared with her paid subscribers.
