I think your technique’s goal is to attain what you want. By asking yourself those two questions, you prevent yourself from acting on autopilot and therefore making mistakes. This makes me think about premortem planning. It involves imagining a plan, imagining that it went poorly, and then actively looking for what could have caused that outcome. I feel like this is a variation of what you do, but with greater emphasis on preventing mistakes, which seems to be the goal.
I may be oversimplifying premortem reasoning, and you might already know about it. If not, I would be curious to know whether you think it would be useful based on the results you have had using your questions.
