September always brings those back-to-school, fresh-start vibes, so we’re kicking things off with a helpful research-backed goal-setting hack that can completely transform the way you follow through with your habits, routines, and goals.

Implementation intentions — aka “if-then planning” — is a super effective (but seriously underrated) productivity and accountability strategy for building consistency, breaking all-or-nothing thinking, and making your goals actually stick.

If you’ve been struggling to follow through with your goals and get back into a consistent post-summer routine, this episode is for you.

Tune in to hear:
- How to use “if-then” planning to stop procrastination and automate decisions
- Why Harvard research proves implementation intentions improve goal success by up to 300%
- Avoiding self-sabotage by planning for obstacles in advance
- Why the ‘Fresh Start Effect’ makes September the right time to reset your habits + routines
- The formula for “if-then” planning you can apply to your health/wellness, work, and creative goals
