Productivity hack: hit the ground running each day (Zeigarnik effect)

The Zygonic Effect is a psychological bias that allows people to recall information when tasks or projects are left unfinished. This effect is similar to how waiters can remember orders while the checks are still open but forget them once the checks are closed. By leaving sentences or tasks unfinished at the end of the day, it becomes easier to start the next day as the open loop system remains activated. This technique is used by writers and can be applied to any project, making it easier to get started and improve productivity.
