A flow state is priceless. It happens when we lose ourselves in the work, simply connecting with the task, without commentary or doubt. When we’re in flow, time slows down, satisfaction rises and we feel fully engaged.
What the heck is “happiness” if not a fleeting moment of peace and satisfaction; certainly not an “end state” goal in and of itself. Aim for the concrete! Fullness is easy to measure: How tired are you? How many words did you write today? How many people did you yell hello to?
