📱 eBook en inglés CLOSE THE TABS

Why can a waiter remember a complex order perfectly until it is served, and then instantly forget it? Psychologist Sarah Bishop explores the "Zeigarnik Effect"—the brains tendency to hold onto unfinished tasks like open browser tabs that drain your battery.
In "Close the Tabs," Bishop explains that "cognitive closure" is a biological need. When we leave emails drafted, conversations unresolved, or projects 90% done, our brain enters a state of low-level anxiety, rehearsing the task in the background. This is a primary cause of insomnia and burnout.
The book offers strategies to "hack" this effect. Bishop teaches the art of the "brain dump" to externalize tasks (convincing the brain they are handled) and the power of "micro-closure" rituals at the end of the workday. It is a guide to quieting the mental noise by learning to finish—or consciously pause—the open loops of life.
