The Zeigarnik Effect
Updated: Aug 23, 2021

The Zeigarnik effect is a psychological phenomenal that can teach you a little something about how to settle your unsettled mind.
How to break those thought loops, cut the chord, so you can start thinking forward again
In essence, the Zeigarnik effect suggests that there is a tendency for your brain to remember and prioritise, interrupted or incomplete tasks.
The implication is, if you’ve got something that’s unresolved, your brain just won’t let it go.
That’s the relationship status that’s complicated
The job search that’s waning
The new project you started but never finished
The lifestyle changes you set out to make but didn’t follow through on
The conversation you know needs to be had, but you’ve been avoiding
It’s also hesitation,
Delaying or procrastinating
Not making a decision or delivering on a promise
