I’m sure you experienced this before:
You might have had a breakdown or you might have had an epiphany.
Either way, you had this realisation that you needed to make some sort of a change in your life.
Suddenly you knew what you needed to do, and you even had the motivation to do it.
However, when you woke up the next morning, you didn’t wake up as the new person you felt like you were the night before. You woke up as the same old you, with no motivation to make the changes you planned to make.
And in the following days and weeks, no additional exercise was done, there was no progress in your learning, and you still didn’t get things done on time.
You have again, fallen back into your set ways, and failed to do what you said you were going to do.
But don’t worry. You’re not alone in this.
I don’t manage to do everything I tell myself I’m going to do, either.
But I have found a way to substantially increase my odds of following through on my desired behaviour.
Instead of relying on motivation, which comes and goes, I started applying what psychologists call: implementation intentions.

I’ve been following and learning a lot….
Man….. this channel is honestly full of quotes
Change from command statement to conditional statement..
Your videos are all outstanding. Thank you 😊
Great material!!! Also I want to add in my personal experience sometimes we tend to watch tv or the cellphone when we feel tired. Even if we think that we rest a little this is false and if we need to really rest its better to take a small walk, do some ying yoga or to take a nap without using any electronics. Let me know what you think

Thanks for doing this video
Thank you very much brother.
This channel is amazing.
Never disappoints.
Love your videos! They are so helping me becoming better than yesterday 🙂
Wow I was already doing implementation intentions. I just didn’t call it that. I called it my "Obstacles to Success" list, with category of related ‘if-then’ contingencies I’d follow, based on my state of mind when I decided to start a challenging project. I created a list like this for ALL my challenging projects, and at first it’s a slow process, but overtime I start to take action more and more consistently and eventually get the project done. But this is only for all my challenging projects, not the easy ones. I can attest this works really fucking effective. It practically gives you superpowers overtime, kind of like Hulk. The more adversity that’s placed on him, the stronger he becomes against it. This list does pretty much the same thing!
great channel
This is really helpful.

Thank you for all that you do..you are an inspiration….
Your example of sitting down to just play one song at the piano inspired me. Opened a doc for work and said I’d take a crack at just the first paragraph and preso (well, two hours later), the draft is complete. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I paused the video right at the start cause I got into reading the comment section, now I’ve gotta go – so I’ll save this for later, but thank you 😃

glad you back
I know what i need to do! I must kill myself!
Maybe I did not understand this, but does it not require motivation to stick to the implementation plan ? I mean with my kinda motivation levels imma gonna keep snoozing the implementation plan.
