Metacognition = thinking about thinking, learning about learning, knowing about knowing

• Metacognitive knowledge = what you know about yourself and others in terms of thinking, learning, and decision-making processes.
• Metacognitive regulation = the activities and strategies you use to control the way you learn and create.
• Metacognitive experience = the thoughts and feelings you have while learning, working, and creating.

3 metacognitive skills:

Planning

Monitoring

Evaluating

Set the metacognitive loop:

1. Block creative time in your calendar
2. Choose your planning tools
3. Choose your monitoring tools (note-taking, audio recording, visual thinking)
4. Find a thinking buddy
5. Choose your evaluation strategies
6. Define your content thesis

Maintain the metacognitive loop:

• Time
  • Is this schedule sustainable?
  • Am I working at the right time?
