This study aims to describe the levels of mindfulness and cognitive fatigue in students in Jakarta and to examine the relationship between these two variables. The method used in this study is quantitative correlational with Pearson's correlation analysis. This study involved 247 psychology students in Jakarta who were selected thru purposive sampling and completed a Google Form-based questionnaire. The instruments used include the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ) to measure mindfulness and the Scale of Physical and Cognitive Fatigue Perceived (SPCFP) to measure cognitive fatigue. The research results indicate that students have a high level of cognitive fatigue (M = 3.31; SD = 1.20) and also a high level of mindfulness (M = 3.13; SD = 1.14). Additionally, a negative relationship was found between mindfulness and cognitive fatigue, with a correlation coefficient (r) of -0.627 and a significance value (p) of 0.001 (p < 0.05). This finding suggests that the more aware someone is of the thoughts that cross their mind, the less cognitive fatigue they experience.
