20. Implementation Intentions

Over the next four lessons (including this one), you’ll learn about a series of habit formation formulas and how to use them.

Let’s get started with habit formation formula 1 of 4: Implementation intentions

LESSON SUMMARY

💡 Start a new good habit by setting what’s called an “implementation intention,” the formula for which goes like this: 

I will BEHAVIOR at TIME in LOCATION.

Some examples: 

💡 Implementation intention for an exercise habit:

“I will workout for 60 minutes at 6 a.m. at my local fitness club.”

💡 Implementation intention for a study habit:

“I will study Philosophy for 30 minutes at 5 p.m. in my room.”
