Why an if-then plan helps
A goal usually fails on a specific day, for a specific reason. An if-then plan decides in advance what you'll do when that happens: "If it rains, then I'll run on the treadmill."
Psychologist Peter Gollwitzer's research on these plans, which he calls implementation intentions, found they make people more likely to follow through.
