Flow is the most productive form of work

July 28, 2004 By Chris Uncategorized One Comment

Rebecca Ryan notes that thought is not the most productive form of work. She has spent a day playing with her family…

And an amazing thing happened: I returned to work this morning with more energy than I’ve had in months. I had a clear idea of what was important (clients and partners) and what wasn’t (reading back issues of newspapers.) I finally took action on creating the office space I really want, instead of settling for the one I have. I’m renewed. It was like someone hit CTRL ALT DEL on my creative cortex.

Of course this is known as flow and flow IS the most productive form of work. When we are in flow we bounce around WITHOUT thought in fact. Everything seems easy to the point where we look back on our work and wonder who actually did that. It’s a common phenomenon among writers who write in flow and then read back their own work with amazement.

I’m a big fan of inquiring into people’s flow practices. I think we all have them, as I have written here before, and it’s clear from this posting that any flow practice in life brings a new awareness to work that can even transfer to that realm.
