Luckily, studies show that simply making a plan to complete our tasks is enough to satisfy our brains that everything’s under control. We stress about forgetting things and ultimately do worse on whatever it is we’re currently working on. On the other hand, it’s entirely self-defeating - we perform at our best when we focus on just one thing at a time, yet at any given moment we may have dozens, even hundreds, of uncompleted tasks vying for our attention. On the one hand, it’s a neat trick - our brains automatically focus on the things that require our attention and discard the things we’ve already taken care of.

Whenever we have tasks left unfinished, our mind tends to dwell on them, keeping them at the forefront of our attention.
