Here is a whole topic regarding a misplaced thread, it is quite amusing to read back on it now - but at the time it was fairly troublesome.

Nobody would start a real note in the notebook with "Note to self", so your opponent will think you are bluffing. So then you can post which move you would really like or not like your opponent to play, and xe'll do the opposite because xe thinks it's a trap.

Disclaimer: I don't take any responsibility for the outcome. Don't try this if your opponent seems to be quite naive (xe might miss the first bluff) or very clever (xe might call the double-bluff). It might be safer to put the note in your notebook.

Good Idea.
You could set him up for a trap by doing it on purpose.
In the days of writing and sending moves on postcards this natural facility was very useful, especially if the opponent was running behind time.
