Deep dives
Maximizing Flow State for High Performance
To achieve optimal flow states, individuals should focus on engaging in deep, single-task activities for at least 15 minutes, followed by broad attention tasks during breaks. Engaging in activities like chatting, taking a walk, or stepping outside allows the mind to rest without the constraints of focused attention. This approach enhances the ability to return to a state of concentration and effectiveness, ultimately supporting better performance. Instead of relying on distractions like phones or sugary snacks for breaks, engaging in restorative activities can help maintain a higher quality of focus throughout the day.
