How to Remain in the Flow of Productivity
For many of us, the quest for constant productivity and efficiency might seem like the ultimate pursuit to maintain a competitive edge. Some of us believe that the more productive we are, the better our outcomes, and the less likely others will catch up with us. However, achieving a steady flow of productivity may not always align with the complexity of certain thought-intensive tasks. In this article, I’ll explore some strategies that can help you maintain a continuous flow of productivity, backed by Amos Tversky’s insightful quote: You waste years by not being able to waste hours.
Setting the Stage for Productivity
Begin with a solid foundation. Start your day with a strong cup of coffee, or two, if you enjoy the extra boost. Exercise is also crucial, and even a brisk walk to the fridge can count. For a balanced diet, eat healthy but don’t hesitate to indulge in a slice of pizza when the mood strikes. Incorporate power naps into your routine, as they serve as ‘phone reboots’ for your brain. If you find yourself utterly drained, ‘fake it till you make it’ by acting as though you’re about to enter a flow state. Sometimes, the mere act of preparation can be the key to achieving your desired outcome.
Mindfulness and Meditation
Deepen your understanding of mindfulness and meditation to enhance your ability to enter the flow state. The second you free your mind of distractions, the closer you get to achieving peak performance. The masters of meditation have been using Level 3 Meditation for centuries, and by following their path, you too can tap into your ‘higher self’ and flow state.
According to Todd Denen, a 4th Degree Master, Level 3 Meditation involves meditation on God, essential for accessing the flow state repeatedly. As you move through the 7 Levels of Human Development, you will be able to achieve this state more consistently, reflecting your true nature. The ultimate goal is to be able to enter the flow state on demand, thanks to 7th Level Mastery and beyond.
At the 7th Level, you are taught to harness your iMind, or Intuitive Intelligence, a powerful tool that accelerates learning and performance across all domains. The iMind, derived directly from your soul or God, is never wrong, ensuring that the decisions you make are always aligned with your highest aspirations.
Practical Tips for Continuous Flow
To maintain a continuous flow, start by drinking a strong cup of coffee, exercising, and maintaining a balanced diet. Incorporate power naps and practice deep, spiritual meditation. By doing so, you set yourself up for a life filled with productivity and innovation, reminiscent of the monks, yogis, and saints who have been mastering this state for centuries.
No matter your level of experience, focusing on the flow state and integrating these practices into your daily routine can help you achieve consistent productivity and innovation. Believe in the power of your intuition and the flow state to propel you forward in your career and life.
