Still Need to Do Day

Still Need to Do Day is a playful prompt to look at your to-do list before the year runs out. There is still time to tie up loose ends or honestly carry them into next year.

How it is celebrated: people dig out their lists, cross off what is done and pick one or two tasks that can really be finished before midnight on 31 December. The rest gets copied neatly into a fresh notebook.

Psychologists describe the Zeigarnik effect: unfinished tasks stick in memory better than completed ones, which is why undone chores keep nagging at us.
