Make capture tools visible and accessible at eye-level or

Make capture tools visible and accessible at eye-level or top-of-stack in every context, because visibility determines attention and proximity determines behavior independent of conscious intention.

Why This Is a Principle

This derives from Attention as Gate to Conscious Perception (attention requires direction), People disproportionately stick with default options even (default option stickiness), and There is no neutral way to present choices - every (no neutral choice presentation). The principle follows: environmental design determines behavior through visibility and accessibility, making capture the default rather than a deliberate choice.

Build capture into your environment

Place capture tools where you will see and use them without having to remember. The best capture system is one your environment triggers automatically — not one that depends on willpower or recall.
