How to stop going in circles and start making decisions

Loop Ladder is a free web app that turns your mental load into one list, right here in your browser. You add what's on your mind, score each item by impact and how much you can control it, then decide: do now, do later, delegate, or drop. No app to download. No more going in circles.

The flow below shows how a single worry becomes a clear action (or a conscious choice to let it go).

Steps: add items, score each, consider control, choose an action, then climb a step.

Real stories from people who felt overwhelmed

Honest experiences from people dealing with stress, anxiety, and overthinking.

Rated 5/5 by 1 reviewer.

“I've been pretty stressed out and really struggling. I found this app from a mate and it really helped me realise that I only had one big problem to worry about and the smaller ones were just making the big one seem bigger. It felt good to see that and also know that I was able to do something now and realise I could get someone else to help or do other things that weren't my really my problem. also good that this is free, kind of wild that you guys would help people for free, would buy you a beer for the help. Cheers”

See how real people deal with stress, anxiety, and overwhelm

Different situations, same method. List, rank, decide, and take back control.

4–6 problems

Sunday night anxiety

Everything you’re carrying from the week—work, family, health—gets listed, scored, and sorted. You go into Monday with one or two Do Nows instead of a fog of dread.

6–10 problems

Work overload

Meetings, deadlines, and “shoulds” go in. You rank by real impact, mark what you can’t control, and decide what to do now, schedule, delegate, or drop.

3–5 problems

Family & relationships

Unsaid things, conflicts, and worries go on the list. Scoring and the control question help you see what’s yours to fix and what isn’t.

Quick answers to the questions people ask most.

Loop Ladder is a free web app that helps you break the cycle.

No. Loop Ladder is a free web app that works right here in your browser. There is nothing to download or install and no app store involved. Just open the site and create your list.
When your mind races at night, it’s usually because unresolved worries have no structure. They loop endlessly because your brain can’t prioritize them in the dark. Loop Ladder helps you get those thoughts out of your head and into a ranked list before bed, so your mind has less to spin on. Many people use it as a Sunday-night or before-bed routine.
Score each item by its real impact on your life (not how loud it feels), then mark whether you can control it. The items that score highest and are within your control are your true priorities. Loop Ladder’s action matrix makes this visible so you stop guessing and start deciding.
