The Power of Flow: How to Achieve Peak Productivity

Do you want to be productive? What about achieving peak productivity?

Then one day I decided to just jump into it. And you know what? After spending more than ten focused hours on it, I was able to finish the app in one day!
I was amazed because the app that I thought was still far away in the future was now in my hand.
How could that happen? How could I be so productive? Well, it all came down to the power of flow.
Flow is the experience of being so absorbed by the task at hand that you lose track of time. The outside world is tuned out. It’s only you racing through the task. In such a state, you can go through your task at top speed. That’s how you achieve peak productivity.
