Why do people remember unfinished tasks better than finished ones?
It's called the Zeigarnik effect
Your brain keeps unfinished things active
That's why an open tab can bother you more than ten completed ones
Money has the same trap
You lose $100
Now your brain wants to “finish the story.”
You don't want to make a good decision anymore
You just want to get back to zero
And that's how a small loss can turn into a much bigger one
Sometimes the hardest thing to close isn't a position
It's the story in your head
~ Think before you act
