Deep dives
Friction as a deterrent and catalyst
Friction can be used as both a deterrent and a catalyst for behavior. Adding a bit of friction, such as an extra step or minor inconvenience, can make us think twice before engaging in negative behaviors. For example, linking a savings account to investments and requiring a specific process to withdraw money can discourage impulsive spending. On the other hand, removing friction can promote desired behaviors. For instance, setting up a fully equipped office desk at home reduces the friction of working in a coffee shop, leading to more focused and productive work.
