Metacognition and Disorganization

With Sarah Butler, Ph.D, Associate Professor of Psychology, College DuPage

Description:

There are many strategies proposed by a range of professionals and authors for addressing chronic clutter problems and the process of decluttering.
The challenge for many can be figuring out which of the multitude of strategies will resonate with a particular individual.
Within psychology, metacognition is the process of thinking about one's thinking.
It is a form of self-reflection focusing on cognitive processes and identifying common thought patterns.
This class will discuss some of the possible psychological mechanisms that can create barriers to clearing clutter and how encouraging individuals to go through a metacognitive process of understanding how they think about clutter may suggest the most effective types of cluttering strategies.
