- A choice I made blew up and I’m tearing into myself
- I flip the flashcard over, see the answer, and instantly think "yeah, I totally knew that"
- Right after I read something it feels totally locked in
- When a study session feels good I walk away assuming I learned everything in it, and when it feels like a slog I assume none of it stuck
- I beat myself up over a call that went badly even though it was reasonable with what I knew, and I pat myself on the back for a reckless one that happened to work

- Judgments of Learning: Why You Misjudge What You’ve Learned
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. - Evaluate decisions by process, not outcome
Judge a decision by the quality of the reasoning at the time, not by what happened.
Hindsight Bias: Why Everything Seems Obvious in Retrospect - Commitment-forcing before feedback
Write a definite answer and confidence rating before seeing correct feedback — never the reverse.

Items you felt sure about but got wrong are retained especially well after correction — target these deliberately.

Discount your highest-confidence JOLs most — they are the most likely to be inflated.
