Features: My Loops
My Loops is the execution layer of WORK-SELF. It’s where your career direction turns into daily actions, weekly priorities, reflection, and adjustment.
My Loops exists to help you do the right work, consistently, without constantly re-deciding what matters. It replaces scattered to-do lists and vague planning with direction-aware routines.
What My Loops is for
My Loops solves a common problem:
You know what you should be working on, but deciding what to do today still feels hard.
My Loops helps you:
reduce decision fatigue
focus on actions that move your career forward
build momentum through small, repeatable actions
stay aligned with your chosen career path
It’s more than productivity for its own sake, it’s execution in service of your career goals.
Who My Loops is for
My Loops is designed for people who:
have selected a direction using the Career Transition Blueprint
want structure without rigidity
struggle to translate plans into daily action
want accountability without pressure
It’s especially useful if you:
feel busy but are not progressing
overplan and under-execute
lose momentum between coaching sessions
want clarity on what matters this week
How My Loops work
Step 1: Your direction sets the frame
My Loops is informed by:
your Career Transition Blueprint path
your 1-, 2-, and 3-year milestones
guidance from Maya
This means:
not all tasks are equal
priorities are filtered through your chosen direction
effort is focused where it creates leverage
Step 2: You work in loops, not endless lists
A “loop” is a repeatable cycle of action and reflection.
Instead of asking: “What should I do today?” My Loops asks: “What’s the next small action that supports my direction?”
Loops typically include:
outreach actions
skill-building actions
preparation or reflection
follow-ups and iteration
Step 3: Daily actions roll into weekly focus
Each day, My Loops helps you:
see what matters now
choose a small number of meaningful actions
avoid overload
Each week, you:
review what moved you forward
adjust priorities
refine focus based on progress
This creates momentum without burnout.
