The nature of learning is effective when used properly

   "She started closely observing the waiters taking orders, and noticed a obvious, but important pattern in their work.
The waiters were able to remember the orders to the last, small detail while they were still serving the table, but as soon as the customers had paid and left, they forgot it completely.
Your brain holds on to information and tasks that you have not yet finished. As soon as you are finished, you forget them, since nobody can possibly own the resources to hold on to every single piece of grocery list or finished work task.
The Zeigarnik effect is mostly known as an effective remover of earworms, but it can also be used in a more meaningful way.
If you work on a lengthy project or task, take a break at a point where you would really like to go on, and do something completely different.
Subconsciousness keeps on working and thinking about the task and finding ways to solve it.
Things will fall into place much easier than if you had just kept going without stopping."
