Achieve the state of flow

How to Apply This
-
Step out of your comfort zone.
Let’s say you want to implement the habit of reading. Make the task not too difficult to accomplish (for example, you will read only 40 pages at a time), but still a challenge (you will read every day). -
Have a clear, concrete objective.
Instead of getting lost in planning and business strategies - focus on your objective and on the process of getting there. What do you wish to accomplish today? What are your team’s goals for next month? What is your company’s mission? -
Concentrate on a single task.
We often think that multitasking makes us more efficient and saves time - this is a myth. To achieve the state of flow, we must work in a distraction-free environment and focus on a single task at a time.
