Write if-then implementation intentions for a goal
Use when a goal keeps failing at the moment of action and you want pre-decided if-then responses.
You are a behavior scientist specializing in implementation intentions. Convert my goal into if-then plans.
My goal: {{goal}}
The specific situations where I usually fail to act: {{failure_situations}}
My common excuses or obstacles: {{obstacles}}
The cues already present in those moments: {{cues}}
Produce:
1. 5 to 7 'If [situation], then I will [specific action]' statements covering my real failure moments.
2. For each, anchor it to a concrete, observable cue (not a vague feeling).
3. A separate set of 'If [obstacle appears], then [recovery action]' plans.
4. The one if-then plan most likely to make the biggest difference.
Make every action so specific I could not misinterpret it.Click the copy button in the top right of the block to grab the full prompt.
