You know when time disappears and you're killing it? That's flow state. It's where magic happens.
I first noticed this building my startups. Coding for 10+ hours without thinking about food? Normal when you're locked in.
Flow isn't random. It requires:
- Clear goals you can measure
- Tasks that challenge without overwhelming you
- Zero distractions (your notifications are killing your productivity)
Flow is my secret weapon. Not grinding more hours – working smarter hours.
My hack? Block 4-5 hours daily for deep work. No meetings. No Slack. No exceptions.
Your competition is probably working fragmented. Their problem, your advantage.
What's your flow trigger? And is your calendar designed to protect or prevent it?
