ADVICE

Use The Absolute Yes Rule

  • Use the "Absolute Yes" rule: only say yes to things that feel like a gut "hell yes."
  • If your initial reaction isn't strong, treat it as a no and protect your time.
INSIGHT

Flow Depends On Strength And Focus

  • Flow multiplies effectiveness and is easier when the task matches your strengths and you have no distractions.
  • You can't be in flow for everything, so prioritize tasks that invite flow.
ADVICE

Batch Or Delegate Tasks You Hate

  • Batch unpleasant tasks and blitz them to get them done quickly instead of forcing flow on them.
  • Delegate recurring disliked tasks so you can focus on strengths and higher-value work.
