Constraints

Habit Loop Design

• Trigger: what brings the user back (notification, routine, need)
• Action: what they do when they return (must be low-friction)
• Reward: what value they get (must be variable, not identical every time)
• Investment: what they put in that makes the product more valuable over time (data, content, connections)
