2. Writing & Speaking – Structuring ideas clearly before answering a question or engaging in discussion.
3. Education & Test-Taking – Encouraging students to pause, analyze the question, and plan an answer before writing.
4. Conflict Resolution – Preventing emotional reactions by reflecting before speaking.
