Zegarnik effect - The perfect and easiest way to accomplish anything is by starting the same

Did it happened that we were resisting any task to start it but were procastinating the same and as soon as we started the task we were not able to take our mind off that task?

If it happened many time then thats what psycologists call the zegarnik effect. It was discovered by a Russian Psychologist Bluma Zeigarnik in 1927 when he found that people remembered task very well when they are incomplete once completed the person forgets the same. This effect is very much helpful in accomplishing day to day tasks and even accomplishing various tasks which we are procastinating.

Most of the time we tend to procrastinate to start any task in hand due to various unnecessary reasons like "we dont have much time", "I am bored", "its very lengthy to complete will do it tommorrow". What if we use the zegarnik effect principle to accomplish all the task in hand it would really help accomplish tasks in hands easily and very early.

The principle of Zegarnik effect dictates that once a task on hand is initiated it affects our brain and our brain would not stop thinking about it unless the task it completed. Our brain does not likes incomplete tasks and so would not stop unless the task is completed. Whether its writing an exam paper, solving a problem, writing a report or a presentation once the task is started our brain would not stop working on it unless it is accomplished, infact once we start the task our brain works and brings many different ideas which we had not thought earlier and try to finish the task as early as possible.

For Example:- Take this blog post that i am posting before writing it i thought many ideas what to write, how to write and didnt got any ideas, but then i used the technique and started writing the post with whatever there was in my mind and it worked i am able to write this post using the zegarnik effect. Whether the post is good or bad its a different question but the task in hand could have been completed.

This psychological effect can really help us in many day to day activities like learning a hobby or studying a subject, accomplishing various office tasks like preparing presentations, making a sale etc.
