How do you know when you are in your zone of productive work?
When in the zone of productive work I am encouraged that things will really happen and that we collectively are making progress toward a shared goal. I look forward to getting up early to continue this progress. There is often an urgency on my part, to do my part, to keep the energy up while in this zone which I find satisfying. At the same time, part of the art of staying in the flow is to also pace the work.
I know I’m in the zone of productive work if someone disagrees with me and I respond with, “Yes, perhaps, and…!”
I know that I am in the zone of productive work when I feel a little bit uncomfortable but also curious.
