If-Then Plan

If-Then Plan is a ready-to-send tool for practitioners working with clients who know the internal obstacle that may interfere with a goal. It helps the client define a recognizable trigger and a concrete response, then formats them into one if-then plan.

One plan per completion

The tool keeps one primary if-then plan per completion so the contingency remains memorable and reviewable.

Client visibility

The final plan remains visible to the client so it can be recalled when the obstacle appears.

Does If-Then Plan suggest the response?

No. The response is supplied by the client or practitioner context; the system only formats the if-then statement.

Are both fields required?

Yes. Completion requires both a trigger and a response.

Does the tool include reminders or progress tracking?

No. Reminders, tracking, adherence logs, and progress scores are outside this tool.
