I think the skill that I’ve learned outside of formal education is time management. Time management has been a very big part of my life since I visit get honesty. I haven’t always been that kind of a kid who would do one thing and like not leave enough time in their day to do other things. if I had homework, if I had to watch a certain show, and if I had some kind of chores, and then I had to go outside swimming lessons and all of that. Since I had a very busy childhood, I always knew how to make time for each one of them, because every activity that I had during my day, it was very exciting, it was very interesting. So I always made time to make sure that I’m completing all of them in one day, rather than putting one thing out for another and having to continue that one thing another day.

I think the skill that I've learned outside of formal education is time management. Time management has been a very big part of my life since I was young. I haven't always been that kind of a kid who would do one thing and not leave enough time in their day to do other things. If I had homework, if I had to watch a certain show, and if I had some kind of chores, and then I had to go outside for swimming lessons and all of that. Since I had a very busy childhood, I always knew how to make time for each one of them, because every activity that I had during my day was very exciting, it was very interesting. So I always made time to make sure that I'm completing all of them in one day, rather than putting one thing off for another and having to continue that one thing another day. So I think time management has been a very big skill that I've learned and over time I've improved and I have gotten better at it. I'm somebody who really, really values punctuality. So time management in that sense also helps me a lot since I know I have a lot of tasks pending, I would make sure that I do not procrastinate and I actually get those tasks done in the time that is due so that I can somehow manage my time where I do get some free space where I get some free time during the day and I can use that to my own advantage. So yeah, time management has been honestly something that's changed my life a lot. During learning to manage time, I have somehow had to deal with procrastinating as well. As much as I hate doing it, sometimes I just naturally procrastinate. So that's something that I have had to work on in order to become better at time management. And yeah, once I did master time management, I've become very, very good at it and it has genuinely helped me a lot. Now I can get all my tasks done in a good amount of time and then I have a lot of time to just spare and be on my own. It's been a good skill to learn and I think it's very important as well. So yes, time management is definitely one of them.
