Vipassana meditation uses naming technique as an aid to maintain constant awareness. You name what you are doing: 'walking'. Alternatively you name things that come up to awareness while meditating: 'thought, thought, frustration, need to scratch nose, .... sadness, thought".

Japanese Soto Zen tradition has short verse for every task you do in monastery. Entering toilet verse etc.

It's easy to lose ones awareness when switching tasks or moving about.
