This is a mental management strategy

Stop and think before you start

Step 1

Get ready

Take time to:

• Pause and clear your mind
• Remember what you did last time
• Imagine what you will do this time

Now do the task

Step 2

Make connections:

• To other things you know about
• To other things that you do
• To other things you are studying

Step 3

Ask yourself:

• What went well?
• What was hard?
• What can be improved?
