I like NLP’s explanation of this. Submodalities like position and distance aren’t common between people, but people DO tend to have similar representations with similar submodalities. I tend to be very kinesthetic with proprioceptive intuitions, but if instead I can say “do this task, wait for some sense, then tell me how you represent that”, I can have them work with THEIR representation instead of mine.
This seemed to work decently well for teaching people strategies for overcoming Akrasia/procrastination, and I suspect with some tweaking it can be even more consistent.
