  • Summary

  • Why do some gamers complete every task and mission in a game, even after they’ve beaten it? Why do some collectors obsess over any missing piece in their collections? Why does that half-finished social post we wrote ruin the rest of our day? In this episode of the Mind Traps podcast, we explore the Zeigarnik effect, the psychological phenomenon that explains why unfinished tasks linger in our minds long after we've put them aside. From to-do lists to half-read books, we uncover how incomplete experiences stick with us and influence our motivation and productivity. Join us as we delve into the science behind this effect and share practical tips on harnessing it to boost your focus and achieve your goals.
