139. Flow State: How to Sink In, Pay Attention, and Increase Focus by Tapping into Uncertainty
Athletes and artists often refer to "flow,” "flow state," which is characterized as the feeling of being completely immersed and engaged in what you’re doing. Research has shown that when we are "in the zone" our distractions fade and productivity spikes. How can we use this knowledge to more effectively goal set for the future, while remaining present?
In this episode of Think Fast Talk Smart, host and strategic communications lecturer Matt Abrahams sits down with Stanford GSB assistant professor of organizational behavior David Melnikoff to discuss flow state, productivity, and goal pursuit.
As Melnikoff shares, it’s less about perfection and more about getting into a state of maximum focus and concentration. Melnikoff shares insights into his research on how we can get into flow more easily while pursuing aspirational goals. “Goal-pursuit doesn’t always need to be a grind,” he says. “It can happen effortlessly or even automatically. That’s an underappreciated side of human motivation.”

Thank you so much. I really like this program
so good... thank you so much!
I worked in a sales team which had a screen with team performance markers , 1st to 5th place. It added a greater deal of flow for me to achieve a place among the top 3.

Well, I picked the challenge to put my finances in order. Then I invested in cryptocurrency and stocks, through the assistance of my discretionary fund manager
