[[Forming Habits]] tags:: #note/thing | #on/habit | #on/behavior | #on/environmental Lon Setnik dates:: 2022-10-02 *Our environment shapes our behavior by cuing us into the routines.* This reminds me of [[default mode]], and how we think we are usually thinking, but mostly we are responding to our environment. It's kind of like using the environment to create [[Good Friction]] if we want to reduce something, or make it easy if we want to increase something. This is acknowledging that our environment influences our behavior more than we wish. Since I also view [[My life as a design challenge]], I want to design [[Future Lon]] to have an easy day AND do the things that are good for him. ### What would the opposite argument be? These are a type of [[Nudge]] which is used to constrain future behavior, something that Future Lon might not appreciate. Is there another way to make his life better and easier? How about [[boost]] instead? ## Sources: The Power of Habit
