implementation intention
An implementation intention is a self-regulatory strategy in the form of an "if-then plan" that when used can lead to better goal attainment, as well as helping in habits and behavior modifications. It is subordinate to goal intentions as it specifies the when, where and how portions of goal-directed behavior
I used " implementation intention" to better my life and make goals for myself, instead of just sitting around hoping they will actually be achieved through time.
