SELF-MANAGEMENT 2
Self-management is the modus of applying and using one’s self characteristics in a righteous and
responsible way. It is making commitments to oneself to smartly organise and properly handle
the situations in and around oneself. Self-management includes qualities such as self-awareness,
decision making problem solving e cient time management planning handling stressful
situations, etc.
SKILLS OF SELF MANAGEMENT
Self-management plays an important role to improve all kinds of performances, be it related to
academics, productivity, doing tasks on time and manage oneself to do things in the best way.
Self-management depends on how well we manage stress and how well we recover.
Following are some of the most necessary skills you must master to succeed in life:
Self-awareness: Always take honest feedback and gather insights into your personality and
work-specific proficiencies. ecide about your daily interactions in different situations and how
you handle situations well or derive a way to handle them better.
Responsibility: Own your assignments and responsibilities because it is a step towards self-
development. For example, if you have been assigned a duty by a teacher, do ensure that you
take complete ownership to complete it. Even if you fail to complete the task on time, you must
be fair to report this correctly.
Time Management: Prioritise the tasks you have to do by removing the unwanted and
redundancy from work. Make a time schedule and follow it diligently.
Adaptability: Stay updated with best practices and new information always. Be ready for new
changes, so that you can transition seamlessly.
STRESS
Imagine today is your exam, you have missed the school bus and suddenly you realise that you
have worn the wrong uniform. Such kind of situations give mental stress. Stress is a normal,
physical or mental agony that happens when someone feels threatened, upset or danger whether
it is real or imaginary.
Stress Management
here are many instances when stress has proved helpful. For example a fire alarm causes stress
but at the same time alerts you to avoid danger. But when stress remains for a long period of time,
it has opposite effects. It leads to emotional and physical stress and limits our ability to function
well. Managing stress is all about planning to cope effectively with daily pressures.
