  • Do half of the task
  • Do 1/4 of another task
  • Stare at something for a while
  • Start a third task

There was a study done that discovered people with vivid imaginations would imagine they were doing a certain task that they needed to do, and their imagination of doing it was so powerful that their brain checked it off as being done. I wish I had the citation for this, but I can't find it.

So you get the satisfaction reward for accomplishing your tasks without actually doing them.

I think this mechanism explains some things.
