Metacognition is just thinking about thinking. So you're thinking about what you are thinking about while you're thinking. That's a lot of thinking. In other words we can narrow it down to two things: the things we know and the ones we don't. We can narrow it down to thinking about what needs to get done and thinking about what's the best way for me to get there. Especially if it refers to doing work for school.

While you were doing you can ask how my doing am I on the right track how should I keep going am I even getting close to my goal am I spending the right amount of time what do I need to do if I don't get it. When you're done you can ask yourself how well that I do that I do better or worse fun and I thought what kind of things could I have done differently and do I need to go back and fill in any blanks.
