The Zeigarnik Effect

The Zeigarnik Effect is a psychological phenomenon where unfinished tasks are remembered more vividly than completed tasks. It suggests that people tend to have better recall and stronger mental attachment to incomplete or interrupted tasks, compared to those that have been finished. This effect can lead to a persistent urge to complete unfinished tasks and can impact one's focus and memory.
