What’s the easiest way?

Here’s a fun thought experiment for you.

Let’s say you’ve just come home from exercising and your clothes are sweaty.

What is the easiest thing to do with your clothes when you take them off?

You may think that putting them on the floor is the easiest action.

But if their final resting place is the washing basket, this means you have increased the effort that is required by putting your clothes on the floor.

Now you may respond by saying, “But you said what’s the easiest thing to do with the clothes? What’s easier than letting gravity do its thing?”

With any task, the easiest way is typically the one with the least amount of steps. When you leave your clothes on the floor, you are actually choosing to add a step to the task that doesn’t need to be there.

If you leave your clothes on the floor, you’re not only going to use extra effort to pick them up later, you’ll also be consuming mental calories everytime you walk over them and either ignore them or tell yourself you really should move them.
