I know multitasking doesn’t really work but sometimes I still fall into the trap.
I know that switching tasks too often breaks my focus, drains my energy, and scatters my attention.
And yet, it happens again and again.
Usually, I notice it when the task in front of me feels heavy or slow. That’s when another task looks more attractive it gives me the quick feeling of progress.
But deep down I know: I’m just distracting myself from what really matters.
Psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi had a simple insight:
Flow that feeling of being completely absorbed in something often comes after a bit of effort.
It shows up right at the point where the work is challenging but still doable.
If we give up too soon, we stay stuck in resistance.
But if we stick with it a little longer, something shifts: the work starts to flow, motivation rises, and confidence grows.
The secret is staying with the task just long enough for it to pull you in.
That’s a practice I return to every day — and one I love helping others discover for themselves.
So, how will you find your flow today? 🌿
