Implementation Intentions

Encode if–then plans to bridge intention and action. Example: “If it’s 8:00 in my kitchen, then I will prep tomorrow’s meals.”

How to Use

1. Identify a target behavior (specific and short).
2. Choose a reliable cue (time, place, preceding action).
3. Write the if–then statement and save it to your plan.
4. Optionally schedule it on your Calendar for a precise time.

Scientific Rationale

• If–then planning dramatically increases follow-through by pre-deciding in context.
• Pairs well with Today’s Actions and Calendar time-blocks.
