Want to Do Your Best Work? Find Your Flow.
Flow state is the key to deep focus, creativity, and peak performance at work. But achieving it isn’t just about individual effort—it also depends on the right environment. Employees can enter flow by finding the right level of challenge, eliminating distractions, setting clear goals, aligning work with intrinsic motivation, and developing routines that trigger deep focus. Managers play a crucial role by minimizing disruptions, matching employees with the right challenges, providing clear goals and feedback, encouraging autonomy, and fostering a culture that values deep work. Whether you're an employee or a leader, creating the conditions for flow leads to greater engagement, productivity, and fulfillment.
