      I also claim that the “ghost motion” before moving your arm, and the “how WOULD I go on this diet” simulation are two instances of the same kind of thing.

      Both of these claims come from personal introspection, but the “simulated movement precedes movement” iirc has support from neuroscience. Also, studies show athletes improve performance from *mentally simulating* doing sports, and iirc pro athletes actually do visualize.

      The implication is that it is also literally impossible to go on a diet without mentally simulating *how* you would go on a diet *should* you wish to.

      It is obviously true, but not at all controversial, that you can’t go on a diet if you literally don’t know how. That’s not the point I’m making.

      The point is, since humans are not logically omniscient, that just because you know the declarative fact “Intermittent fasting consists of only eating in an 8-hour window” doesn’t mean you have *created the plan*

      “If I were to do intermittent fasting, when I woke up I would make myself coffee but not breakfast.” + whatever nonverbal simulation is necessary to “prepare to do it.”

      In the psychological literature these are called implementation intentions, and lots of studies claim they work better than baseline for forming new habits.

      When thinking “I should do X” actually causes you to do X, my hypothesis is that the “should” doesn’t cause action directly; it’s the prompt to *think about X*.

      I’ve noticed that often I don’t want to open my terminal window to start writing code. But if I ask myself, “If I *did* code the next part of this project, where would I start?” And once I answer the question, I *do* want to start.

      What is a good level of resolution to the "where would I start" here? i.e. is "open the terminal and look at file X" sufficient or do you need to simulate a legit plan (or set of possible plans) for how to complete the task before you feel motivated to begin?

      In my case? I need to, before opening the file, recollect "ok, where did I leave off? what was broken/buggy when I last stopped working on this? What's the next thing I can do to solve said bug?"
