When you ask yourself better questions, you are forced to think deeply about your tasks and problems and the best way forward.
- Before a task: Is this similar to a previous task? What do I want to accomplish? What should I do first?
- During the task: Am I on the right track? What can I improve? Who can I ask for help?
- After a task: What worked well? What could I have done better? Can I use this for other situations?
