Planning is developing a well-thought-out strategy before starting a task. This involves thinking about what is needed before beginning something.
Organization is using strategies to stay neat and tidy. Being organized includes having a place for everything, developing a plan to keep materials orderly, and cleaning up we go.
Task initiation means starting right away. That includes not procrastinating, even when it is a less-desired task (like starting homework or doing dishes).
Time management is using time well to complete tasks.
Attention allows us to focus on a person or task for a period of time, ignore distractors, and refocus when needed.
Metacognition is thinking about our thinking. That means considering what we know and what we don’t know about a topic as we learn. This can be a critical skill when studying for assessments, completing challenging assignments, and even just comprehending new learning material.
Working memory is keeping the information in our heads while we use it. We use working memory when we solve complex math problems and juggle numbers in our heads. We also use working memory when remembering critical details in a story or just thinking back to what the directions given in class were.
Self-control is stopping and thinking in order to make a more positive choice at the moment. That involves learning how to calm down and make good choices. Learners use self-control in the moment, such as raising and choosing to stay home to finish an assignment.
Flexibility is effectively coping with change. This means being open-minded, testing out new approaches, and going with the flow when things do not go as planned. Being a flexible thinker also means being able to see a situation in more than one way, which is critical for problem-solving and perspective-taking.
