You would think that anything that delays the reaction is unproductive, but in fact, sometimes you would like to add intended friction or decision points to cool off, as you can see in this Nudgestock conference talk by Dilip Soman, from which the photo is taken (friction as a positive intervention is in 3).
– For example, you would not like people to divorce with a click. You would also like to hide the cookies from yourself on the top shelf or at least in a drawer. Or you would rather not buy them in the first place so that anytime you would like to eat one, you would have to go out and buy one.
– An option I like is a kitchen safe in case you would like to let your partner or your kids eat unhealthy snacks but not yourself. Alternatively, consider putting away phones during family dinners.
– The same applies to the One Sec app, which makes you take a deep breath before you open social media.
– One more creative idea is to tell a friend the password to your social media while hiding it from yourself. Another is the StayFocusd app, which has various modes, including a 10-minute timer and a nuclear option.
– An additional one is Stop Scrolling Newsfeed for Facebook.
The idea is simple: make the right choice easy to perform and the not-so-right choice hard to perform.
Willpower alone won't help you resist temptation when it strikes. Friction will.
