While the whole focus of GTD (Getting Things Done) is to close loops, there is still value in actively opening or not closing loops.

By intentionally keeping something open and spinning in your subconscious, you are dedicating brain cycles to working in the background trying to solve that problem. If done strategically, there is value in actively opening an unresolved hairy question to be solved over time.

Sleeping on it, taking walks, washing the dishes, taking a shower, driving in the car. All of these activities are prime locations for your subconscious to start making connections where you consciously aren't seeing them.

Is there a problem here with filling that empty space with habitually memorizing/reciting scriptures? You no longer have the open space for the subconscious to work on problems.

All this to say that there is value in strategically un-closing a loop, just like there is tremendous value in closing most loops (Benefits of closing loops) by default.
