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.
