Stack multiple aligned environmental cues (visual, spatial, temporal, and contextual) to converge on a single desired behavior, making that behavior the path of least resistance.

Why This Is a Principle

This derives from habit formation in stable contexts (Habits as Context-Response Associations), the Behavior = Motivation + Ability + Prompt model (Behavior occurs when three elements converge simultaneously), and the nervous system as efficiency-seeking (Behavior follows the path of least resistance due…). By aligning multiple triggers, you reduce the activation energy required for the desired behavior.
