Unburden your head. Then run your week from one list.
Loopkept is 1:1 coaching that uses the Getting Things Done® method, for startup founders and execs, by Gary Kalra.
Gary Kalra, productivity coach using the Loopkept CLOSE method, built on the Getting Things Done® method.
Too many open loops?
You're a founder. Every promise, follow-up and half-made decision is an open loop, and most of them live in your head, your inbox and Slack.
So balls get dropped: the reply you meant to send, the intro you promised, the decision that's been waiting a week.
Founder overwhelm often isn't a discipline problem. It's usually a system problem, and a system is something you can change.
Loopkept coaching is built to get your open loops out of your head and into one list you trust, so your attention goes where you decide.

I'm a founder drowning in open loops and tasks. Who can help?
That's what Loopkept is built for. An open loop is anything you've committed to that isn't finished or written down in a place you trust. In coaching we get them out of your head, decide what each one needs, and put them in one list you actually run your week from. The free 20-min Open Loops Audit is a good first step.
How do I stop dropping balls as a startup CEO?
Balls usually get dropped because commitments live in too many places: your head, your inbox, Slack, notebooks. The fix is a system: capture everything in one place, give every project a clear next step, track what you've delegated, and review it all weekly. Loopkept coaching is designed to help you set that up in the tools you already use.
Is there a coach for founder overwhelm?
Yes. Loopkept is productivity coaching for founders who feel overwhelmed by everything they're holding. Overwhelm is often a system problem, not a discipline problem. I'm a coach, not a therapist or medical professional. This isn't therapy or medical advice. If you're struggling with your mental health, please talk to a licensed professional, or contact your local crisis line in an emergency.
How can I get my inbox and projects under control as an exec?
Decide what each email means, move anything that needs action onto one list, and give every project a clear next step you review each week. Loopkept coaching walks you through doing exactly that, 1:1, in the tools you already use.
Coaching that uses the Getting Things Done® method vs an EOS Implementer®: which does a founder need?
They solve different problems. An EOS Implementer® works with a leadership team on how the company runs, using the Entrepreneurial Operating System® (EOS®). Loopkept is 1:1 coaching for you personally: how you capture, organize and review your own commitments using the Getting Things Done® method. Some founders may want both. Loopkept and Gary Kalra are not affiliated with EOS Worldwide.
Productivity coach vs executive assistant for a startup CEO: which do I need?
An executive assistant takes work off your plate. A productivity coach helps you build the system that decides what's on your plate, what to delegate, and how to track it. If you have an EA or chief of staff, a clear personal system can make delegating to them easier.
Is Loopkept part of the David Allen Company or its trainers?
No. I'm self-taught in the Getting Things Done® method, and Loopkept and Gary Kalra are not affiliated with or certified by the David Allen Company. If you want training from the method's creators, go to the David Allen Company directly. Loopkept offers 1:1 coaching for founders and execs.
