Increase ability and improve prompts rather than relying on

Increase ability and improve prompts rather than relying on motivation to sustain capture behavior, as motivation fluctuates unpredictably while environmental triggers remain stable.

Why This Is a Principle

This derives from Behavior occurs when three elements converge simultaneously: (behavior requires motivation, ability, and prompt converging) and Behavior follows the path of least resistance due to the (nervous system follows path of least resistance). The principle prescribes focusing on the controllable, stable elements (environment, triggers) rather than the variable element (motivation).
