As with many things in life, reducing activation energy can have dramatic effects.<p>For example: Most of the people I know, even the health conscious, don&#x27;t get annual physicals.  I pressed them on why, and it came down to this: They didn&#x27;t want to spend a half-day getting it done. There&#x27;s just too much activation energy: scheduling, commute, checking in, waiting around, finally seeing the doc for 10 minutes, driving back to work. It&#x27;s even worse when you have to return for labs because they didn&#x27;t inform you that you should fast before drawing blood for labs. Simply reducing the activation energy goes a long, long way!
