Many believe it’s difficult to get into a flow state. But interestingly, most of us already spend 5% of our workday in flow. A McKinsey study found that increasing flow time per day from 5% to 15% DOUBLES productivity.
To enter a flow state, you simply need to be deeply grounded in the HERE and NOW. Because FLOW FOLLOWS FOCUS. And there are certain conditions when unwavering focus comes naturally to you.
- When you are thoroughly enjoying what you’re doing. The process feels more rewarding than the outcome.
- When you’re striving to do your best at something you’re already good at, but with some challenge or constraints.
Simple. Consciously recognize, preserve, and encourage more focus phases in your life. Then watch as your flow time per day keeps on increasing.
