implementation intention

An implementation intention is a self-regulatory strategy in the form of an "if-then plan" that when used can lead to better goal attainment, as well as helping in habits and behavior modifications. It is subordinate to goal intentions as it specifies the when, where and how portions of goal-directed behavior
I used " implementation intention" to better my life and make goals for myself, instead of just sitting around hoping they will actually be achieved through time.

Slothful Induction Fallacy

The logical fallacy of rejecting a well-supported conclusion despite overwhelming evidence, usually because accepting it would require uncomfortable changes or challenge cherished beliefs. It's the inverse of hasty generalization: hasty induction jumps to conclusions with too little evidence; slothful induction refuses to reach conclusions despite ample evidence. Classic in climate denial, vaccine skepticism, and any domain where evidence conflicts with identity.
"Ninety-seven percent of climate scientists agree, and the evidence is overwhelming, but I'm just not convinced." That's Slothful Induction Fallacy—refusing to draw the conclusion that all available evidence points to. At some point, skepticism becomes denial, and evidence becomes irrelevant."
