One of the themes around here is that design matters.
Want to change something (*ahem, resolutions we thought about making)? Change the design around it.
It’s easy to think that information is what leads to change. But it doesn’t seem to work that way. It’s not that we don’t know we should [save money/ eat this not that / take these actions at work] but that those actions are easy as not to do as they are to do. It’s only when the circumstances change that the action changes itself.
People who work with a physical trainer bench more, eat better, and have fewer injuries compared to people who work out alone or with a partner. We all have the right information for forms and styles, for foods and fibers. But there’s something different about the circumstances around having a trainer.
There’s progress you want to make. There’s progress I want to make. Things that haven’t happened yet. We need to change the circumstances.
