Implementation intentions

implementation intentions: clear plan of action for that habit. Basically the secret love child of a SMART goal and a visualisation.

Instead of "I'm going to write more" your intention is "on MWF, when the alarm goes off, I'm going to write for 25 minutes"

Also why do these people feel the need to invent new words to describe shit that already exists? (Answer: because that's how they sell more shit, by pretending to have secret knowledge)
