The Zeigarnik Effect: Beat ProcrastinationUse mental tension to finish what you start.

Trick your brain into completing tasks by simply beginning them. The Zeigarnik effect explains our tendency to remember unfinished work, creating a mental need for closure that helps us see projects through. Instead of facing a huge project, just commit to the first few minutes. This opens a psychological 'loop' that your mind will push to close, building momentum and helping you overcome the urge to delay.
