Trigger-action plans (TAPs, also known as implementation intentions) are very concrete plans when and how to perform certain actions.

Examples of implementation intentions:

  • When i walk through the door to my bedroom I will do one pull-up.
  • When I sit down at my work desk I will drink a sip of water.
  • IF I say “I/we should do X” THEN I take some immediate action that gets me slightly closer to X happening.[1]
