‘In the Zone’
How often do we deviate from our work when our mind’s wander? When I was doing my internship at Response, almost every hour, especially times when I felt stuck, I found myself checking email, and all my social media accounts. Distractions are inevitable at work and throws a wrench in your work flow, or as Curtis McHale describes it, “The Zone.” I stumbled across this article by Curtis McHale and I figured it be best to pass it on, being that you probably are killing your work flow right now (if your working) reading this.
The zone is that place where things flow. Birds fly music plays. It’s cheesy, cliche and sometimes hard to come by. Really the zone is where we need to be regularly to get things done. For many of us the zone only sometimes shows its head. We struggle to find it. Love it when it happens and lament when we can’t find it.
It’s kind of like the ‘killing zone’ in the movie Wanted. You start off with it just happening and you have no control. Over time you learn how it works for you and grab the shuttle from the loom. Then you become a master.
