I've used mirror writing in notes as a trick to pay attention in boring classes since elementary school. Once it becomes automatic, switch back to left to right writing for a few words or lines to scramble the brain. The more boring the material, the more one must switch to maintain focus. It doesn't come perfectly naturally for me, if it did it wouldn't work.
