There are 2 concepts that have helped me when i have the presence to use them. Ironically,I gave these to Chuck when I fist saw him in Pittsburgh, but didnt practice what I preached in a match with him.

1.Look at all 4 quadrants even though the action may seemingly not involve all of them. Do it systematically scanning all points in the quadrants to see if you can discover any plays.

2. Go through all legal plays on the board. If you start sytematically scannning from one quadrant to the next you can develop this skill to where you dismiss absurd plays in a flash, and go through the process rather quickly.
