How To Get In The Flow
How To Get In The Flow
H/T David Amerland
Because it is action that creates the mental state of flow any of us can learn to apply the same approach when it comes to our decision making.
Involvement. The activity you engage in must have a clear structure and direction. That means that it is really important to have well-structured, tangible, incremental steps all the way to the end goal. The approach creates a sense of progress and direction. It allows for any necessary corrections that need to be made and it provides a solid sense of purpose.
Clarity and feedback. The tasks you engage in must be crystal clear and easily doable. This leads to the absence of ambivalence in the execution of each one and confidence in the effectiveness of the process. There has to be immediate feedback at each task execution point. This is important for dealing with the unexpected and readjusting the process by adapting each task, without losing the state of flow.
Skillset and reach. There has to be a good match between the level and quality of skills brought to bear on the task at hand and the potential of the challenges that may arise during its execution. Too big a gap between the two and the mismatch creates impossibilities that are difficult to overcome. Any mismatch creates doubt. Doubt undermines confidence. A lack of confidence affects everything else and makes it next to impossible to achieve any state of flow.
