emotional control. is the ability to modulate emotional responses, so we use rational thoughts to control the feelings.
Initiation. is the ability to start a task or activity and to generate ideas independently, responses or strategies capable of solving problems.
operational memory. is the ability to retain information in our minds in order to accomplish a task. How memory is responsible for storing and processing information temporarily while you perform cognitive tasks related with that information.

self tracking. is the ability to keep track of our own accomplishments and measure them and assess them in relation to a previously set standard on what is needed or expected.
