NASA drugged spiders to understand human capabilities in space. That web-building wisdom offers insights in that you don’t just respond to what’s “there”.

Human inclination towards efficiency shapes routines and environments, and you can use both to shift focus from loss to resilience.

Choices and commitments, even when they stretch beyond the 'ideal,' can be a matter of focusing on your values rather than rigid schedules. Align tasks with your core values for a more meaningful approach to productivity.

There are eight layers of environment where you can make easier movement towards a goal with less effort. In terms of sleep, controlling cues in your environments can regulate it without rules to practice.

Environments are literal, perceptible, real-life physical structures. They’re objects, smells, infrastructure, climate, and safety. Environments are also metaphorical. Eat your way to exploring this.

Environmental factors can shape the path and you can change your movement habits by changing the environment. The best way to change is to let the path quietly take over.

Working your social and emotional skills, then applying those with deliberate connection, helps us experience meaning in life through relationships.

The dynamics and tensions of environment style involves structures and systems - those nudge interaction tactics, rule following, expectations, and codes of behavior. You can modify, change, or create an environment style for the purpose of triggering a habit.
