What if simply thinking about how you think, process and analyze information, could help you be more efficient?

Let me introduce you to metacognition, which is defined as awareness and understanding of one’s own thought processes.

In the field of education, studies report that metacognition helped students think strategic. This had additional psychological benefits like helping students feel more empowered about their education, and improved their grades, by an average of one-third of a letter grade.

These moments of reflection benefit beyond the realm of education.

Metacognition helps you to be more focused and direct in your objectives, which can often be what distinguishes those that have the potential to achieve and those that actually do achieve.

Practicing metacognition keeps you on the path of working smart, not hard
