You may need to simplify the action, which has the effect of an increase in motivation because it is now easier to do. Behavioral scientist B. J. Fogg describes <strong>six factors that influence a task\u2019s difficulty:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Time<\/li><li>Money<\/li><li>Physical effort<\/li><li>Mental effort<\/li><li>Social deviance<\/li><li>Non-routine &#8211; \u201chow much the action matches or disrupts existing routines.\u201d<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: some of the largest web companies have reduced one or more of these factors by multiples, or even orders of magnitude:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Compared to calling 50 separate friends or sending mass emails, Facebook reduces time and effort to broadcast your personal news. It also became socially acceptable to broadcast good personal news on Facebook, when at one point it might have been considered socially gauche.<\/li><li>Compared to hailing a cab or driving, Uber reduces the time, money, physical effort, and mental effort considerably.<\/li><li>Compared to shopping in physical stores, Amazon reduces the first 4 considerably, and also matches existing routines of shopping.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, each of these roughly matched routines that people had previously done &#8211; Uber fit people\u2019s prior habits behavior of getting into strangers\u2019 cars, and Amazon fit user\u2019s behaviors of shopping in physical stores.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Identify which factor is most impeding your users. <\/strong>Is the mental effort needed to use your product too high? Is the user in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/social-context\/\">social context<\/a> where the behavior is inappropriate? Is the behavior so different from normal routine that it\u2019s offputting?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You don&#8217;t have to increase motivation to get more action. Instead, you just create fewer places where people give up. Here are examples of tactics to reduce frictions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Log in with Facebook, rather than type in email and password<\/li><li>Share a page with an embedded Tweet button, rather than go to Twitter.com and copy text over<\/li><li>Google\u2019s homepage is simple and clear. The search has auto-suggest, spelling correction, and instant search results, reducing mental effort and time to get results.<\/li><li>The iPhone has the camera button on the homescreen, reducing the friction to taking photos.<\/li><li>Pinterest has infinite scroll, reducing the physical effort needed to view more content.<\/li><li>Change your landing page or homepage to direct users to the action you want them to take.&nbsp;<ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-has-twitter-changed\/\">Twitter changed<\/a> from a search form to creating an account or downloading the app.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Should you work to increase motivation or ability? The author argues, \u201c<strong>always start with increasing ability<\/strong>.\u201d Motivating users is hard &#8211; users don\u2019t read text, and they have deeply ingrained behaviors. <strong>Reducing the effort to perform an action gets them to the reward more quickly.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How can you increase motivation?
