What are self-management skills?

• Self-management skills are a special category of
  soft skills. This subclass of soft skills enables
  you to regulate your thoughts, actions, and
  feelings. You might not realize it but the way we
  deal with ourselves has a huge impact on our
  lifestyle. There's no doubt developing social
  skills is important.

Evaluate Yourself 

• Before even coming up with a plan of action, take
  the time to assess what self-management skills
  you already have and what you still need to
  develop. Create two side-by-side lists one for
  weaknesses and one for strengths.

Create your battle plan 

• Think of how you can leverage the strengths you
  found to support your weaknesses. A disciplined
  person can develop their anger management skills
  by adding meditation to their daily routine. By
  diligently following this routine, they can
  experience the benefits of improved emotional
  regulation and stronger emotional control.

5
Restructure your routine 

• Slowly change your daily routine to include the
  self-management skill youre trying to develop.
  Say you want to become a healthy eater but you
  never seem to have the time to cook for yourself.
  Make a deal with yourself to have at least one
  meal a week thats healthy.

6
Assess the changes

• Reflect on the changes you made during your first
  week of developing self-management skills. Take
  out the notes you made at the start of the week.
  Start by considering whether you found all the
  weaknesses you needed to change. If not, write
  down the new ones you discovered.

7
Readjusting Your Strategy

• In readjusting your self-development strategy,
  throw out the techniques that didnt work and
  improve on those that did. Maybe meditation is
  boring for you and just makes you feel annoyed.
  Meditation may not be helping you deal with your
  anger problems but how about exercise instead?
