Design Tip
To encourage people to select an option or engage in a
behavior that is usually associated with a loss, delay
losses so that they occur in the future.

Solution
Split the chore of doing dishes up into multiple steps so
the loss of time feels minimized

Explanation
Dirty dishes are placed in one half of the sink to be
rinsed and then moved to the other half to be more
thoroughly washed later.

Explanation
The washed dishes can go in a drying rack, before
being put away in the future. These steps split the
amount of time spent into thirds, minimizing the feeling
of a loss.

Explanation
The steps can also be completed by separate people
instead of a single person rinsing, washing, and drying
dishes by hand (we often run out of dishes and don’t
have time to dry them on a rack).
