In this article, two new tools are presented: the awareness-discounting matrix and the awareness action sequence. The first is a variant of the discounting matrix developed by Mellor and Schiff (1975); the second is completely new. Created for task-oriented and option-oriented functions–which occur in many contexts, particularly educational and commercial settings–the new developments are specifically designed to deal with the different emphases needed in such settings compared with the predominant requirements of contexts in which personal resolution or growth and development are primary. The tools are each defined and described. Helpful relationships, guidelines, and principles related both to the way these tools work and how they can be used are also discussed and illustrated. The tools have been applied in a wide variety of settings, including the information technology (IT) education field, from which many of the examples in this article are drawn
