On #3, Not having read Mo’s book what helps get me thinking the same way (though not as often as I would like) is “what does it feel like to be wrong. It doesn’t feel bad, that’s for when you know you are wrong. While you are still in the act of being wrong it feels exactly like being right.” Which I first encountered as a meme and I don’t know the source to appropriately attribute credit. But remembering the concept has helped me quite a bit. Mo’s phrasing seems good, I shall add it to my box. The tool I am still working on is remembering to ask myself.
On a related note, I have discovered the useful trick that after writing a text message or comment or post, my brain cannot tell the difference between deleting it and posting/sending it.
