Place frequently used commands within easy reach

When optimizing navigation, it's crucial to place frequently used commands within easy reach to enhance usability. According to Fitts’s Law, which states that the time to acquire a target is related to the distance and size of the target, positioning commonly used options conveniently is essential. For example, in a web messenger's dropdown menu for muting notifications, “30 mins” should be at the top as the most commonly selected duration, followed by “1 hour” and “2 hours,” with an option to set a custom period at the end. This setup minimizes navigation distance, making these essential functions quickly accessible and improving the user experience across devices.
