I'm not sure how you're hearing it used, but to me it's just a common phrase synonymous with "from now on" but without the slightly commanding tone. Or interchangeable with "in the future," which I don't love b/c in my head I always imagine I'm talking about the far, far Future.

I try not to hate on cliches too much. They are like short circuits or reflex actions in the language center of your brain. Most people can't help it. Moreover, most of them were, at birth, quite fresh and creative coinages. That is why they became memes.
So, please, do not go postal or get medieval on someone's ass when you hear them. They are innocent, playful sprites of language that were captured and enslaved, until they became the misshapen, joyless monsters you are familiar with today. Pity them.
