Psychological strategies for emotional autonomy and time management

Psychological perspectives offer guidance on maintaining emotional autonomy and managing modern stressors. Viktor Frankl, psychiatrist and founder of logotherapy, emphasized that even in extreme circumstances, such as those experienced in Nazi concentration camps, individuals retain the ‘last of human freedoms’: the ability to choose one’s attitude toward any given set of circumstances.

In contemporary contexts, psychotherapist Nilda Chiaraviglio addresses the pervasive sense of time scarcity. She notes that constant rushing and overloaded schedules contribute to anxiety and erode mental well-being. Experts suggest that managing this stress requires realistic planning, prioritizing essential tasks, and incorporating moments of enjoyment to regain a sense of control over daily life.
