Expecting people to have willpower over scrolling or expecting you to have willpower over,

you know, scoffing all the cakes when they're in the office, is an unreasonable expectation.

And it places, it places too much responsibility on individual agency and volition and control just take the

cakes away put your phone in a phone box you know like one of those phone boxes you know that you can

lock your phone away in for a few hours that's going to be much more effective right I mean that's

going to work I mean the simple the simple reason people do most things

is because they can. And the simple reason they don't is because they can't, right? So,

so the behavioral science lesson like 101 is if you want someone to do something, make it easier.

And if you don't want them to do it, make it hard. We can do this for ourselves as well as for other people.

Like, remove the tempter, remove the ease of access, the opportunity to engage in

behaviours if you don't want to do them. They keep thinking that you can put yourself into these

environments and I'm going to be strong. My mind is powerful. I'll be able to resist. Why make that

so hard for yourself? And actually, you're quite weak anyway. So anyway so you know you're kind of doomed to

fail just just make it harder um and that and that's what i mean by design power make it easy

to do the things that you want to do and harder to do the things you don't
