- When I reread my notes everything looks familiar, so I tell myself I know it

The Coaching Habit: Seven Questions to Be More Coach-Like - The Johari Window
The Johari Window, developed by Joseph Luft and Harrington Ingham, is a model of self-knowledge and interpersonal disclosure organized into four quadrants: Open (known to self and others), Blind (known to others, not to self), Hidden (known to self, not to others), and Unknown (known to neither). It is used in coaching and organizational development to guide feedback exchange and self-disclosure, expanding the Open area and reducing blind spots. - Name the question your brain is actually answering
When you reach a quick judgment, ask: "What question did I actually just answer?"

- Judgment Of Learning Accuracy
Judgments of learning (JOLs) are in-the-moment predictions about how well information will be remembered later. Thomas Nelson’s research showed JOLs are often inaccurate — biased upward by current processing fluency — causing learners to declare items "learned" prematurely and under-study material they will later forget. Delayed JOLs and retrieval-based checks produce more accurate predictions and better study-time allocation.
