Self-management begins with introspection: knowing your strengths, weaknesses, emotional triggers, and core values.
- Self-Awareness: Recognizing your competencies, knowledge gaps, and mood states without denial.
- Self-Regulation (Control): Resisting impulsive emotional reactions, maintaining calm during server outages or deadlines.
- Self-Motivation: Internal drive (intrinsic motivation) to complete complex technical challenges without constant external supervision.
