Well, one skill that I have recently learned is developing a consistent schedule. I remember a time about a year ago when we were taking exams. My friend looked so fresh and energetic, while I felt a little sleepy and tired because I hadn't slept enough. After the examinations, the results came, and my friend got a higher score than me. I went to him and asked for help. First, I asked him what he did to stay so energetic and fresh. He told me that he sleeps about eight or nine hours a day. After that, I really started to think about my sleeping habits. After one or two weeks, I began to feel that my productivity was improving, and it also positively affected my health because my brain had more time to rest. It helped me enhance my studies as well. I became more creative, and my scores on exams rose significantly. To develop this skill, I started going to bed earlier than ever before. At first, it was really hard for me because I had never done this before. It taught me about discipline because it's not easy to change an old habit to a new one. I started setting alarms and avoiding my phone at night. Therefore, it was a difficult period, but through discipline, I achieved this skill.
