The document discusses splitting up the chore of doing dishes among roommates. It proposes dividing the task into multiple steps to minimize the feeling of time lost: dirty dishes would be rinsed in one side of the sink and then washed more thoroughly in the other side before being placed in a drying rack. This splits the chore into smaller steps that can also be done by different people, rather than one person doing all the rinsing, washing and drying alone. A photomontage then depicts the three-step process of rinsing dishes, washing them, and placing them in a rack to dry.

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.

8. Research, Branding, Motion Graphics Gillian Pitzer
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.

9. Research, Branding, Motion Graphics Gillian Pitzer
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).
