People love taking shortcuts because it saves them time and energy. Imagine you're walking to school, but there's a shortcut through the park, you'd choose that instead of walking all the way around the block. Your brain is always looking for the easiest way to do things, even if it means skipping some steps.
Examples
- Walking through the park to get to school instead of walking all the way around the block.
- Choosing a quicker route on your bike rather than following the usual path.
- Taking the stairs at work when you’re running late.
