The Hidden Cost of “Almost”: Why Unfinished Loops Are Draining Your Energy
I’ve realised lately that the most expensive thing I can own is an “Almost.”
An Almost is that project that’s 90% done but sitting in a folder.
It’s the “maybe” client you’re still chasing for an answer.
It’s the relationship that feels magnetic one day and confusing the next.
Every “Almost” Is an Open Tab in Your Nervous System
Every Almost is an open tab in your brain. A literal leak in your nervous system.
It’s the reason you feel bone-tired at 4:00 PM even when your to-do list wasn’t that long.
You aren’t burned out from the work.
You’re exhausted from the ambiguity.
Unfinished decisions cost more energy than hard work ever will.
Choosing No Middle Ground
I’m making a different choice for 2026.
I’m choosing to be authentic and direct.
The bravest thing I can do for my sanity and my business is to stop entertaining the middle ground.
True flow requires an unfiltered honesty with yourself about what is actually a yes and what is a no.
When you plug those leaks, your energy doesn’t just return.
It catches fire.
Why Focus and Flow Require Closure
This is something I see constantly with remote workers, creatives, and people living between places.
It’s not the travel.
It’s not the workload.
It’s not even the uncertainty of the future.
It’s the accumulation of Almosts.
Projects without edges.
Connections without clarity.
Days that never quite begin or end.
Focus isn’t about discipline.
Flow isn’t about hacks.
They come from closure.
A Circuit Breaker for the “Almosts”
That’s the energy I’m hosting in Tamraght, Morocco this March.
This isn’t just a 10-day coworking trip.
It’s a circuit breaker for the Almosts in your life.
We’re bringing together a small group of men and women who are ready to trade mental loops for the Atlantic breeze, and clarity for completion.
Getting Out of the Thinking Brain
We’re intentionally stepping out of constant cognition and back into creative fire.
Authentic Creation
Painting and cooking sessions to remember what it feels like to start and finish something beautiful.
Direct Movement
Embodied sessions designed to get you out of your head and back into your power.
Focused Flow
Dedicated coworking blocks in a space designed for clarity, not clutter.
This isn’t about doing more.
It’s about finally closing the tabs that are draining you.
A Soft Invitation
If you’re ready to close the open loops and reclaim your focus in the Moroccan sun, there’s space for you.
You can explore the Tamraght retreat details and see if it feels aligned.
And if you’re leaning toward a yes but still sitting with a few questions, that’s okay too. Sometimes clarity comes from a short, honest conversation.
Less Almost.
More completion.
More energy that actually stays with you.
