💡 Core Concept & Psychology
Humorous approach to dealing with discarded ideas - letting go as a positive growth process rather than failure. Based on the Zeigarnik Effect: unfinished tasks burden working memory 42% more and create mental tension. The app provides psychological closure and reduces the cognitive overhead of dormant projects.
