kaniyang aspektong personal at sosyal. Nakadisenyo ito para sa distance
learning o alternatibong pamamaraan ng pagkatuto na hindi
nangangailangan ng pisikal na presensya sa paaralan, bilang tugon sa
direktiba na pagkansela ng face-to-face class dulot ng pandemyang Covid-
19.
Layunin nating matulungan ang mag-aaral na malinang ang
pansariling disiplina. Nakapaloob dito ang mga gawain na inaasahang
magmumulat sa kaniya upang makilala ang kahalagahan ng disiplinang
pansarili na kinakailangan sa kaniyang buong-husay na pagtugon sa bawat
sitwasyon ng buhay—sa loob ng tahanan, sa paaralan, sa komunidad na
kaniyang ginagalawan, at maging sa pagtupad sa kaniyang tungkulin sa
propesyong maaari niyang gampanan sa hinaharap.
Nakapaloob din sa modyul na ito ang mga gawain na

Beingresponsibleduringthiscriticaltimewouldbenefitnotjustyourselfbutalso your
family and community. This pandemic challenges everyone to perform their
respective roles even if it would entail greater sacrifices. In performing your role, it is
necessary that you develop self-discipline. Here are some tips that you can follow to
achieve self-discipline:

1. Know and acknowledge yourweaknesses.

Change starts from identifying your weaknesses. Be humble enough to
own them and do something to start improving yourself. It may not be easybut
it’s worth atry.
2. Keep clear goals and have an actionplan.
Be specific on what you want to achieve. Your goal will serve as your
guide in planning your actions. Having a clear goal would mean better action
plan and efficient use of time, resources and energy.
3. Commit to developself-discipline.
Deciding to achieve a certain level of self-discipline is never easy.
Disciplinewouldmeandoingthingswhetheryoulikeitornot.Itmeansdoingthe right
things at all cost which oftentimes gives discomforts that may drive you away
from doing it. You need to have a commitment to exercise self-discipline at
alltimes.
4. Learn to avoiddestructions
One of the effective ways of avoiding destructions is not exposing
yourself into it. Surround yourself with things that you plan to accomplish.
When you are trying to avoid excessive exposures to anything thatdisturbs
you, try to remove them from your reach for a while like gadget, radio,
television,etc.Youmayalsotryotherstrategiesthatyouthinkwillhelpyou.
 5. Create simple and doableroutines.
Creating simple and doable routines will help you in developing self-
discipline. For example, if you have problems with being on time for your
scheduled classes, it is necessary to know the root cause of the problem.
You can adjust your bed time and other activities and allocate ample time
for your sleep and other preparations.
6. Create a Back-upPlan.
Having a Plan A, B or C will help you in managing setbacks or failures.
Notbeingabletoachieveyourgoalonaspecifictimemaybefrustratingbut these
back-up plans will give you a better opportunity to re-plan and strategize
your nextsteps.
