Reverse
Reversal is a good tool for improving just about anything. To use it, ask the opposite of thequestion you want to ask, and apply the results.

Example:

Imagine that you want to improve your productivity. Using reversal you would ask' How would I REDUCE my productivity?’ After considering this question you might give the following answers:

- Not planning my day
- Not returning phone calls
- Not spending time to reflect on what i’m learning
- Drink too much and never exercise

After using the reversal technique you may wellsee some of the areas where you are subconciously undermining your efforts - change these and notice the results.
