One of the most effective techniques I try ti use is conscious pause after completing the task. It works for both personal and work stuff.

For some time now (from February or even earlier) I have a daily practice called “On this day”. I read any diary entries I have for this calendar day for previous years (2014, 2016 and from 2019 until now).

What’s the profit? Besides obvious reasons like recalling events and comparing yourself with the past one?
