Episode notes
The brain abhors open loops and is inclined to finish tasks once started. This concept is evident in the zygonic effect, observed in servers who excel at recalling open table orders but struggle once the table is closed. This open loop closed loop system is integral to memory and motivation. People are driven to complete tasks due to the brain's aversion to unfinished loops, seen in behaviors like binge-watching Netflix series and the dislike for cliffhangers. The completion of tasks, even finishing a sentence, reduces the effort needed to restart the task the next day. Ultimately, embracing the concept that 'it just takes work, shit loads and shit loads of work' is a reminder that tasks must be completed regardless of shortcuts or attempts to avoid the hard work.
