Failures take on a life of their own because the brain remembers incomplete tasks or failures longer than success or completed activity. That is called the \u201cZeigarnik effect.\u201d When a project or a thought is completed, the brain places it in a special memory. The brain no longer gives the project priority or active working status, and bits and pieces of the achieved situation begin to decay.<\/p>\n
But failures have no closure. The brain continues to spin the memory, trying to come up with ways to fix the mess and move it from active to inactive status.<\/p>\n
