Hi everybody I need your help please waht`s the meaning of this expression?
collecting things taps into.
The sentence is For many people, collecting things taps into not only our basic psychology of "having more", but also many people �s insecurities about being popular.
Another questions what is the difference between
I am trying to get things done.
I am trying getting things done.
Thanks a lot in advance.

According to the Free Dictionary by Farflax
Phrasal Verb:
tap into
1. To establish a connection with; have access to: tapped into a new market for their products.
2. To take advantage of: tapped into their enthusiasm to improve the school.
Collecting things makes a connection to our basic psycology of having more. |

"I am trying to get things done," is a correct English sentence.
"I am trying getting things done," is not correct.
