Do you ever feel like you are just rushing from one subject to another? When things happen so fast, maybe you can’t understand clearly what you are doing or learning, so it is important to stop yourself to think about what you have been doing or learning.

Self-reflection(反省) means slowing down and calming yourself, including calming your mind. By calming down and going slowly, you give your brain a chance to think about what it has already received. 1. Others keep a diary. What’s more, taking notes is also OK. Each method works, depending on your own personal learning. 2..

First, choose the proper time to do it. School textbooks are divided into units of study. This makes it easier to begin self-reflection. 3. Sometimes you know the unit is over because there is some kind of test. Use these natural breaks to stop and do self-reflection.

Then, find a quiet place and take out your reflection diary. 4. Let your mind think about the notes you have written and make some connections.

5. Maybe you learned a new way to work out a math problem, but you’re not sure when to use it.

Writing down your questions will help you remember to look for answers the next time you are working with the same topic.
