Environment Design for Habits
Environment design for habits makes desired actions easy and unwanted ones harder by changing your space—often more reliable than motivation alone.
Environment design for habits shapes spaces so the right action is easy—fruit on the counter, gym bag by the door, phone charger out of the bedroom. Friction beats motivation for repeat behaviors: one extra step stops late-night snacking more than willpower.
Defaults matter more than reminders after week three.
