As with any to-do list, it is important to actually DO what youve set out to accomplish. However, for a variety of reasons some tasks just dont get done. In David Allens book, Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity, he calls unfinished tasks open loops. As the name suggests, these open loops circle continually in your unconscious mind, popping up periodically in your consciousness. As soon as you remember that you have not completed a task, your brain focuses on it and prompts you to do it—immediately. You might be able to successfully bat it away like a pest from your consciousness, but it will fester and send out distress signals in your unconscious, making you miserable. The cycle continues until the job is done. Watch this video for more information.
