Self-Management

Self-management describes the ability to direct your time, attention, energy and emotions toward chosen goals.

It combines skills like planning, prioritization, focus control and reflection, plus routines for sleep, movement and recovery that sustain performance. It complements time management by focusing on boundaries, motivation and alignment.

In practice, it's a feedback loop: set intentions, act, observe results, adjust.
Good self-management reduces reliance on willpower by shaping environments, defaults and habits so the "right" action is easier than alternatives.
