 When I was in medical school, I wish somebody just grabbed me on the shoulders and told me to focus on idea of self-optimization. Usually in medicine, it is expected to be okay feeling like you're just afloat, where you're just getting by because the amount of information that you're learning is so much that it is okay to feel like you're barely above water. But from my experience, the way I was able to make that shift from just staying afloat to finally being able to feel like I was able to have good balance in medical school was when I was hyper focused on becoming optimized in all elements of my life, not to static. And to make the shift, one thing that I did I highly recommend is at least on a weekly basis, find three to four systems in your daily life that you feel like if they were optimized, your quality of life would simply be a lot better. Setting is usually a given, but it's not the only thing. You can think about other elements such as how you manage your relationships, your priorities, as well as how you build your resume. If you pick just a few of these to improve and optimize on a weekly basis, you'll find that over time, not only do you become a better student academically, but usually will become better at managing your time more efficient and you can use that free time to become happy using priorities and overall just having a better experience on the medical journey.
