This technique is called metacognition. Reach for it when you want to plan, monitor, and judge your own understanding as you study. The idea is simple. You build a steady habit and let it do the work over time. It is backed by five peer reviewed studies, so the advice rests on real evidence. Try it on your own material this week and notice how much more sticks.
