Strong Tools for Personal Change

Chronometrage, or time metering. A powerful tool that can change the way we view our whole life. Simple and ingenious: from waking till sleep, monitor exactly what you are actually doing, write it down and analyse it. Analyse how much time is spent on small things and large things, on important things and on unimportant things. Can be an eye-opener indeed.

Self-recording. If you are interested in “knowing thyself”, improving your relationships and your speech, use a voice recorder and record your conversations. Then simply listen through and analyse. A video-camera works even better (and helps with physical aspects such as posture and non-verbal patterns) but is less practical usually, while a dictphone can easily be bought/borrowed, as it's present in most cellphones and mp3players today. Very powerful tool.
