Design physical and digital environments so that desired…
Design physical and digital environments so that desired behaviors require fewer steps than undesired behaviors, making the path of least resistance align with your goals.
Why This Is a Principle
This principle derives from behavior being a function of person and environment (Behavior is a function of both the person…), the nervous system following paths of least resistance (Behavior follows the path of least resistance due…), and physical proximity/visibility determining interaction likelihood (Physical proximity and visibility of objects…). It prescribes friction design as an architectural solution rather than a willpower solution.
