The smallest satisfying thing

You're here because you know something most others don't:

Behavior change isn't about motivation. It's about design.

The best workplace interventions aren't the big programs with fanfare and launch dates. They're the tiny friction reductions. The well-timed prompts. The defaults that make good behavior effortless.

That's what Nudges at Work is about.

Three times a week, you'll get one evidence-based insight you can use immediately:

• Tuesdays: A research finding that challenges conventional wisdom
• Thursdays: A practical technique you can try this week
• Saturdays: A contrarian take worth sitting with

Each nudge is under 200 words. No fluff. No theory without application.

Here's your first one:

The smallest satisfying thing. When you want to build a new behavior—in yourself or your team—don't ask "What's the ideal outcome?" Ask "What's the tiniest version of this that would still feel like a win?"

That's how habits actually form.

See you Tuesday.
