Make Right Easy, Wrong Hard

Your chosen action loses to the option that is easiest to reach. Remove one obstacle from the preferred path and add one reversible obstacle to the familiar failure path, keeping the arrangement transparent and voluntary.

Ease the chosen path. Add reversible friction. Keep choice visible.

When the desired outcome is already chosen, the environment can carry some follow-through. Prepare the good path and make the predictable detour slightly less automatic. Change one friction on each side, then inspect behavior and autonomy together. This is a practical arrangement, not permission to decide what other people should prefer.

Try this when…

The thing I want to do takes six setup steps.

The distraction is ready before my work is.

I keep choosing the default I never meant to choose.

A small inconvenience keeps defeating the plan I actually want.
