Peter Gollwitzer introduced the implementation intentions framework in the early 1990s. His influential 1993 paper — "Goal Achievement: The Role of Intentions" — and subsequent work through the mid‑1990s formalised the "if–then" implementation intentions framework. An if–then implementation intention links a specific cue (if) to a concrete action (then) to automate goal-directed behaviour. Template: 𝙄𝙛 [𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚/𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙘𝙚/𝙘𝙪𝙚], 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙣 [𝙨𝙥𝙚𝙘𝙞𝙛𝙞𝙘 𝙩𝙖𝙨𝙠 + 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚𝙧].
