The pressure to optimize every minute of your calendar can often become a trap of its own, leading to a state of “fake time freedom” where you remain stressed despite having control over your schedule.

You will learn how to identify the five stages of time freedom, how to use a “Shutdown Sequence” to maintain a gain-state mindset, and why the most important decisions in your life require a “Hell Yes” or a “No”.

Links from the Episode: About Alyssa Chiev: I am Alyssa Chiev, a sophomore pre-med biology major at the University of Texas at Dallas. I am heavily involved in research with the Gassensmith lab and I am a newsletter writer for the American Medical Women's Association at UTD. My interest in aerospace medicine began recently, I knew I have always wanted to play a role in humanity's journey into space, but I did not see how I could do that until I stumbled upon the Aerospace Medical Association and Dr. Ann Tsung. Both have inspired me to pursue this career path. For this episode, I will be asking some common questions generated by me and my peers to gain further insight into this subspecialty.
