Key Ideas

• There’s nothing like that state of flow, when you get so absorbed in a project that time seems to stand still.
• One of our main limitations these days is of course: interruptions. With constant interruptions from kids, roommates, and colleagues sending Slack messages to ask if you read their emails, there is little opportunity to be fully absorbed in anything.
• Figure out what times of day are least likely to be interrupted - Analyze your schedule until you know what chunks of time might be available, and if there’s more than one chunk, figure out when you have the most energy.
• Match the right work to the right time - Creative and analytical projects are good choices; I like to write and edit in open, uninterrupted chunks of time. Achieving flow is not just about getting things done, though. It’s an important experience in and of itself.
• Set yourself up to succeed -

So take a moment before you begin to set the stage. Turn off phone or computer notifications. Keep a water bottle handy so thirst doesn’t stop the flow prematurely. And keep what I like to call a “later list” next to you where you jot down interruptions/activities.
