I think the following strands are addressed best in other skills clusters. So, they should
be moved to these clusters:

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

#7 to the thinking skill (planning).

#8 to the reflection skill (self-awareness).
#9 to the communication through interaction skill.
#13, 14 & 15 to the critical thinking or affective skills.
#16 to the media literacy skill (to be kept in organization).

After removing these stands the organization skill structure will be more focused on
time management and self-management.
