I have twenty small methods (m1, m2, m3, etc..) in a class quite different between each other, and after every method i would like to do some common actions, like increasing some counters and in the case write those counters to a file. Let’s call those actions ACT.
I know that I can create a method that does ACT, but then I need to call it from every other method. That is, from m1 I should call ACT as last method, from m2 I should call ACT as last method, and so on.
Is there a way to say “if someone call this list of methods of this class (i.e: m1, m2, m3 …), please after that call that method (i.e: ACT) automatically” ? Because AFAIK is not possible.

AOP is good approach to solve your problem.
But I advice you to examine your class. Twenty small methods quite different between each other in a class is a little code smell. I think your class probably violate single responsibility principle.
