A lot of big and small processes throughout life and all over the world can interrupt our plans and instill a hyper-focused memory of activities that were thwarted, abandoned, and unfinished. We may, by necessity, end up seeking practices in mourning, motivation, and learning to meet the circumstances that left us bereft of closure. How do you honor tasks left undone?

Human cognition, emotion, and motor function are not computational processes. Our brains, hearts, and bodies are living, dynamic, evolving wonders. To that end, scientists have described and studied a dazzling variety of specific cognitive biases. This work helps illuminate a vast, multifaceted landscape of statistically meaningful ways that brains are ultimately not computers. At the same time, science has yet to do extensive study of emotive and motor biases that likely can also originate from the significant cluster of neurons in the heart and in the gut. Yet all told, we understand that the biopsychosocial experience of being human is fallible, predictably unpredictable, mutating, and, well, human.

[image description: A heart with a quizzical, surprised, and concerned facial expression looks out at the viewer. The heart has a large and looming thought bubble filled with creative projects — a story, a painting, jewelry makings — that are in various states of incomplete. Text reads: Zeigarnik Effect: When activities that are not completed or are interrupted are more strongly remembered."]
