Repetition of the same thought or physical action develops into a habit which, repeated frequently enough, becomes an automatic reflex. Norman Vincent Peale

What are your thoughts about IFTTT?

I apologize. First let me explain what IFTTT stands for.

If This, Then That.

In the world of software development IFTT is a conditional statement, and there are tools that help developers automate conditional actions.

What are your default conditional actions and statements?

We all have a set of automated reactions and responses that we use to guide us through our day because it would be exhausting to make decisions about each situation as it arises.

However, the challenge occurs when your automated responses begin to cause problems. When your internal IFTTT statements no longer provide the outcomes you’re seeking.

When your IFTTT statements have in fact become your habits.

The good news is that just like the software developer you too can change your IFTTT statements.

You can choose any of the following statements or even create your own.

If this then what.

If this then maybe.

Or even a firm, if this then no.

The ‘if’ is the trigger that sets of your conditional statements.

You have the power to change your own IFTTT statements. And if you pay attention then you’ll quickly learn that the ‘if’ is your first opportunity to edit how you will respond to both external and internal triggers.

Remember, conditional statements are just that, conditional statements. They are only permanent if you want them to be.
