How Successful People Get Into Flow State And Peak Performance
Flow isn’t a default state, you induce it.
Getting into a flow state is critical to doing deep work, achieving peak performance, and making the most of your day.
If you want to focus intensely on a mentally demanding task without distractions and produce your best work, you must be able to get lost in your work until it feels effortless and your full abilities are put to use.
That’s exactly what Tiger Woods, one of the greatest golfers of all time, meant when he said:
“I tend to have these blackout moments when I don’t remember, I know I was there, but I don’t actually remember performing the golf shot. The mind gets so entrenched at the moment; I guess my subconscious takes over.”
Top athletes like Tiger Woods, artists, writers, CEOs, and other creatives experience this state of flow, which allows them to produce excellent work.
Unfortunately, most people find themselves extremely distracted and unable to tap into the state of flow.
Flow isn’t your default state
The first thing to know about flow is that it’s not a default condition.
