What is context design goals?

Context design goals is a concept in personal epistemology: Rather than relying on willpower create contexts that make desired behavior natural.

Example: You decide to eat healthier. Option A: you rely on willpower every time you open the fridge. Option B: you spend 20 minutes on Sunday placing fruit at eye level and moving snacks to the highest shelf. Three weeks later, Option B has changed your behavior without a single act of resistance. You didn't become more disciplined — you became a better architect of your own choices.

This concept is part of Phase 9 (Context Sensitivity) in the How to Think curriculum, which builds the epistemic infrastructure for context sensitivity.
