Exercises
Playing an instrument, juggling, and crafts are some of the best flow-inducing activities.
Washing the dishes, folding clothes, vacuuming…you probably feel flow while doing these things already. Sink into it!
It’s simple: batch the simplest, most executable tasks on your to-do list into one session. When you can string them together in succession, flow happens more naturally.
