Deciding exactly when and where you'll act makes you far more likely to actually do it
Psychologist Peter Gollwitzer found that forming a specific 'if-then' plan, like 'if it's 7am, I'll go for a run before breakfast', dramatically outperforms just intending to do something. In one study, students who wrote down precisely when and where they'd submit a report over the holidays did so roughly three times as often as students who merely planned to. The trigger, once set, runs almost automatically when the moment arrives.
