              •  Managing the submission of the science project on time.
              •  Practicing in the evening for two hours for an inter-state Badminton tournament coming up.

              Self-management skills help you stay on track, and create a path of success for yourself. This skill teaches you
              how to handle stressful situations in life. Even the employer’s nowadays strongly prefer people with good self-
              management skills.

              In this unit, you will be learning self-management skills, which will help you further enhance your employability
              skills.

              Following are some of the skills you must master to succeed in life:
              •  Self-awareness: Pay attention to what people say about your strengths, and areas where you can improve. Also,
                take time to reflect on your daily interactions with others. Think about the situations you handled well, and those
                you could have managed better.
              •  Responsibility: It means being accountable for your tasks and actions. It is crucial for personal growth. Taking
                responsibility shows that you are reliable and committed to improving yourself, even when things don’t go as
                planned. For instance, if a teacher gives you an assignment, make sure you take full responsibility for it. This
                means doing your best to complete it on time. If you can not finish it on time, you should inform the teacher
                about the delay, and work on fixing the issue.
              •  Time Management: Time management is about organising your tasks effectively to make the most of your
                time. It is important to prioritise what needs to be done, focusing on the most important tasks first. This means
                identifying what is urgent, and what can wait.
              •  Adaptability: Adaptability is the ability to adjust to new situations, and changes. To be adaptable, it is important
                to keep yourself updated with the latest practices, and stay informed about new information.

              etc. The demands or threats are called stressors. Stressors are the reason
              for stress.
