Flexibility: Learning to adapt as situations unfold
Attention: Focusing long enough to retain important information
Organization: Managing space to promote forward momentum
Planning: Managing time
Working memory: Memorizing information long enough for it to be learned
Self-awareness: Having both sufficient self-knowledge and an understanding of how one is seen by others
