Description

In this episode, we break down why your brain hates relaxing—and how to finally feel calm even when life’s unfinished. You’ll learn about the Zeigarnik Effect (aka the “puzzle effect”), why your mind keeps tabs open on incomplete tasks, and how to work with your brain instead of against it. From letting yourself leave things undone, to closing mental tabs that drain your peace, to tackling that one “pebble in your shoe” task, this episode shows you how to stop chasing closure and actually rest.
