Listen "#85 - The Puzzle Effect"
Episode Synopsis
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.⏰ TIMESTAMPS0:00 Why your brain hates relaxing0:47 The Zeigarnik Effect explained3:15 Why unfinished tasks cause stress6:00 The art of leaving things undone8:45 Call to action: close your open tabs🎙️ PODCAST LINKSSpotify: https://urlgeni.us/spotify/fiobrospodcastApple Podcasts: https://urlgeni.us/applepodcast/fiobrospodcast🧘 FREE MEDITATION COURSELearn to meditate in 5 days, 100% free: fiobros.com/meditate🤝 SUPPORT US ON PATREONIf you find our content helpful & want to support us on our creator journey, sign up here: https://www.patreon.com/FioBros📱 FOLLOW US ON IGinstagram.com/fiobros
