The psychology of the self is study of either conative, cognitive or affective
representation of particular individual's identity, or subject of the experience. The Earliest
formulations of self modern psychology that is derived from distinction among self as,
subjective knower and self as me, object which is known. Psychological approach for self and

REFLECTIVE JOURNAL ENTRY PRO-FORMA 1
Defining the core skill?
Time management is process of exercising and planning conscious control of the time
spent on the specific activity, especially for enhancing effectiveness, productivity and
efficiency. With the help of time management an individual could utilize their time for
maximizing their productivity.
Importance of core skill?
In Time management is very essential skills. With the help of this skill an individual can
perform their task on time or before time and along with that goal and objective of
individual can also be achieved effectively. The goal setting theory mainly focus on gaining

How competent you are currently?
I had average time management skill with the help of that I could manage task and

measuring my time management skill and evaluating whether I need to improve it or not.
Peer feedback: My peer had also told me that some time I effectively manage the task but
sometime I couldn't manage task properly and thus couldn't effectively work upon it.
Tutor Feedback: My tutor also had same feedback that some time I lack to perform the
task well and sometime it is done effectively.
Identification of contradiction, or allowable weakness from the above analysis?
I agree with the feedback from my peers and tutors that I have that I couldn't be able to
always manage time. Due to this some time I couldn't manage the time and work effectively
on task. I should always try to manage task on time so that I can achieve goal on time
effectively. I am also reliable to the toolkit and its result as that also stated that I sometime
