Personal development is a lifelong process of assessing one's skills, considering life goals, and setting goals to maximize potential. Developing includes organizing time, creating a CV or resume, doing a skills appraisal, identifying transferable skills, and overcoming barriers to learning new skills. Drawing up a CV is useful for self-assessment and highlighting skills to improve. Key skills include teamwork, leadership, motivation, communication, research, numeracy, and technology. Overcoming barriers involves strategies like prayer, exercise, planning one's day, eating breakfast, and tackling difficult tasks first.
