Understand the Zeigarnik effect to remember your past accomplishments and build confidence
⚡ The Short Version
You forget completed tasks more easily than incomplete ones, so write down what you've mastered. Your brain naturally keeps incomplete work in focus while letting finished accomplishments fade from awareness.
Keeping an "already done" list helps you remember your progress and build confidence. Reviewing your successes before competition grounds you in how far you've come.
