By implementation intention, Clear means that carving out a clear plan for when you're going to implement the intention/goal. For example, after X trigger, I will do Y goal. He says this is more powerful than motivation (wanting to do the goal) alone.

Another habit might be to fix bugs and make other updates to my API doc course. That course is a challenge to keep up to date, and I've fallen pretty far behind in making some needed updates. In short, despite my initial successes with habit stacking, I have plenty more to figure out, and it's not as simple as it sounds.

One thing I'm wary of is stacking my entire day. I want to maintain flexibility to allow me to address unknown issues as well as to keep some spontaneity and freeform in my behavior.

Habit stacking is a powerful technique for implementing goals that seems to work. The idea of piggybacking onto existing routines and using them as triggers for the new goal seems to result in higher success rates than other techniques.
