Parallel If-Then Intention Set
A parallel if-then intention set holds two to three non-chained if-thens for separate goals—capped at three active plans to avoid cue collision.
A parallel if-then intention set runs two to three independent if-thens for different goals—not chained—if 7 a. m.
then lift, if first coffee then log meals, if 9 p. m.
then phone in kitchen. Parallel sets beat mega-stacks when goals do not sequence naturally.
Cap at three active plans; rotate after automaticity. Conflicts happen when two ifs share one cue without ordering rules.
Common questions
-
How is parallel different from cue stacking?
