Metacognition means "learning how to learn." Make your learning process active.

1) Focus. Computers don't "multitask," as they rapidly switch between individual processes. People don't have the same capability.

2) Removing distractions (e.g. your phone) is part of the solution.

3) Take breaks. The Pomodoro Technique is 25 minutes on and five off.

4) Space repetitions. Reviewing is better than single viewing.

5) Train analogical thinking. Learn how to relate ideas and solutions across disciplines.

6) Self-test. Ask yourself "what do I know about serving?" Go into as much detail as possible...types of serves, where to serve, and the details of serving mechanics. Review your serve with video.

7) Practice. If we want to improve at anything, use "deliberate practice."
