If you only ever create directories from interactive shells with
the "mkdir" command, you could override it with a function:
mkdir() {
command mkdir "$@" &&
chmod +t "$@"
}
(In reality you'd want to process function arguments, and remove for
example a "-p" option before passing them along to chmod. I'll leave
that part as an exercise.)
If you ever create directories through applications, though, this
approach will not help you. In the latter case, there is no answer
except modifying your operating system.
