Summary

In this Minisode Monday, guest James Clear rejoins us to talk about how pre-commitment (aka implementation intentions) can make following through with a plan more likely. The Cheat Sheet: "Amateurs do things when it's easy -- when they feel motivated to do them. Professionals do things on a schedule." -James Clear Pre-commitment (aka implementation intentions) is the idea that if you lay out a plan for implementing your behavior with a very specific time, place, and location, you're much more likely to follow through. In one particular study, ninety percent of the group that made made a pre-commitment with implementation intentions were compliant with their goal. Discover how Jordan uses the pre-commitment to implementation intentions in his own schedule to get what some consider an outrageous amount of things done every week. (This applies to work as well as leisure.) To learn more about social dynamics and productivity hacks, take the Art of Charm Challenge by clicking here, or text CHARMED to 33444.

0:00.0	Hey Jordan Harbinger here, welcome to Miniso D'Monday.
0:02.8	Happy to be here with you kicking off the week with something quick and actionable that you can
0:07.1	implement right away that will make you more magnetic and effective.
0:11.1	Today we're back with James Clear who is on the show recently discussing mental models and a
0:15.3	whole lot more. James, let's talk about pre-commitment. Sure, so pre-commitment is the idea, and this
0:21.7	is backed up by hundreds of research studies, that if you lay out a plan for implementing your
0:26.8	behavior in with a very specific time, place, location, you're much more likely to fall through.
0:32.0	So there have been a bunch of studies on this implementation intentions. This is another common phrase
0:36.4	that you'll hear with it. One of my favorite studies looked at health habits, and so they tracked
0:41.2	three different groups. They had the first group that came in that said, well, once you'd track
0:44.6	how often you exercise in the next two weeks. So that's the control group. Second group, they brought
0:49.4	in. They said, we also want you to track how often you exercise over the next two weeks, but they showed
0:54.3	them this motivational message and gave them pamphlets on heart health and why exercise was good,
0:58.8	and so that was the motivated group. And then the third group was equally motivated. They got the same
1:03.8	message, but they were told to do one thing differently, and that one thing was to fill out this
1:08.3	sentence. They'd said, I will partake in at least 20 minutes of exercise on this day at this time
1:14.7	in this place. So they had to fill out when, where, and how they were going to do it. And the group,
1:20.4	as they looked at the results after they looked at those three groups, the first group,
1:23.7	control group, about 30% of them worked out. The second group, the motivated group, again, about
1:29.5	30% of them worked out. So the motivation had basically no effect as soon as they left the
1:33.4	researchers laboratory. And the third group, the group that wrote down specifically when and where
1:38.3	they were going to work out, 90% of them worked out over the next two weeks. And so the idea here,
