Habits
If-Then Backup Branch Plan
An if-then backup branch plan pre-writes Plan B for external blockers—closed gym, late dinner—keeping effort within seventy percent of the primary habit.
An if-then backup branch plan documents Plan B before Plan A fails—if the gym is closed, then home circuit twenty minutes; if dinner is late, then protein shake before bed. Branches differ from obstacle plans: they handle external blockers, not internal resistance.
Keep backup effort within seventy percent of the primary session to preserve identity.
Common questions
-
How hard should a backup session be?
Roughly seventy percent of primary duration or intensity—enough to protect identity, not so long you skip it. A five-minute backup beats zero on travel days.
