A person practising self-management is aware of how their actions are influenced by internal and external factors, including pressure. They are also able to prioritise different tasks and plan time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Self-managers are resilient and adaptable, able to motivate themselves and focus their attention in the right direction. They can cope with change as well as setbacks, and can take feedback and criticism into account. Taking care of your mental and physical health is also part of self-management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Self-management is closely linked to lifelong learning and is an important basis for developing learning skills. A self-managing learner is able to set learning objectives and monitor their learning process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:2px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"table table-hover\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>A moment of reflection:\u00a0<\/strong>Consider the extent to which you engage in continuous self-development, contemplate what you do and take feedback into account.
