  8. Employing Self- Management Tools There is no such thing as time management – only self-management! The secret of mastering effective self-management is maximizing time spent in Quadrants I and II.

  9. Self-Management Tools • Monthly calendars • Daily action list or “to do” lists • Tracking forms

  10. Developing Self-Discipline • Three essential ingredients for self-discipline • Commitment • Focus • Persistence

  11. Commitment Commitment is the outcome of staying focused and being persistent!

  12. Staying Focused Focus is self-discipline in thought. The Inner Defendant (sayings like – boring teachers, schedule stinks, getting over the flu, better next semester, etc.) and the Inner Critic (sayings like – too old, too dumb, never could do math, etc.) are the two biggest enemies of focus. Remember to keep your Inner Guide (sayings like – “What are my dreams and goals?) strong and regain focus by revisualizing your life plan.

  13. Persistence Persistence is self-discipline in action. Persistence can best be found by asking the question: Do you LOVE YOURSELF enough to stay on task to accomplishing your dreams?

  14. Procrastination Procrastination is the hole that sinks many ships! If your dreams are important to you, what are you waiting for? Will you make a 32-day commitment?

  15. Self-Management & Self-Confidence Genuine self-confidence results from a history of success, and a history of success results from persistently takingaction. Build your success identity by persisting in whateveryou struggle doing until it become a success for you.
