"Flow with it...." - 70s advice
In many previous posts I discussed the idea of flow. Flow is a concept that was introduced by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi( pronounced cheeks-sent-me high).
Even though I know what it is, I could not accurately describe the elements that are critical in importance to be able to enter flow. The book Career Renegade discusses some of these. Over next several posts I will discuss each one.
First element of flow is Working toward a clear goal with a well defined process.
When working on large projects it is very easy to become discouraged. It can be overwhelming. But the task, whether it is bog or small, must be defined very clearly. In other words you must know all of the major objectives that need to be hit in order to reach the goal. (refer to an earlier post on GOSPAL technique for more detailed discussion)
You need to be able to clearly state the objectives and visualizing them would be very helpful. If you can not state them and visualize your objectives, then you are not going to get there efficiently.
Today's question is:
"Can you clearly state and visualize your Objectives?"
