Flow + Pomodoro The Super Productivity Stack

In my experience, you do your best work when you’re in a good mood and you’re focused.

You can also look at it as being a state of “Flow,” which is a term the psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi coined.

You can get in a Flow mind-state by having the right balance between challenge and skill level.

How do you know you have Flow? When work is effortless and you’re making progress.

I’m finally in that state as I’m writing this after being out of it for a few months. I was dealing with major renovations at my home, and then, I had to do a lot of small tasks here and there for my upcoming book.

Once I finished my most pressing tasks, my goal was to get into Flow again. I took it easy. Fiddled a bit. Read some books. And journaled a lot.

“Getting close” is something I wrote about often. And then, a few days ago, it hit me: Ignore all the noise and only focus on writing.

So that’s what I’m doing now. Plus, I combine it with another productivity strategy, the Pomodoro technique. When you do that, you have the ultimate productivity stack.
