You think you're so smart, stop it!

How do you know when you're not good at something?

"I know what I'm good at and what I'm not"

Well if you think that, you're not very good at self assessment so listen up.

Dunning-Krugger effect, I talk about it a lot. It's easy to tell where others are on that graph then where you are on that graph.

I figured it out

Ask yourself "what do I not know?"

Any time you think you know something, know how to do it, know what you would do, ask yourself "what do I know that I do not know?"

It's really comforting. I'm really familiar with my line of work, I can tell you 50 things I know I don't know, and what I would need to do to know them, but most other areas of life, I can't even name one thing of substance if I'm being honest with myself. So even if I feel like I know what to do, this grounds me to realising there’s a lot I don’t even know I need to know.
