00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:03.439
Ooh yeah, flow with me tonight.
00:00:03.680 --> 00:00:06.799
After all the static, it's time for something true.
00:00:06.959 --> 00:00:09.919
Let the vibe connect me right here with you.
00:00:10.720 --> 00:00:13.039
It's that flow with flood.
00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:20.160
Turn the volume up and leave your world behind.
00:00:20.239 --> 00:00:23.679
Yeah, it's that flow with Floyd, one of a kind.
00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:32.079
Greetings, kings and queens.
00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:41.039
Welcome back to another thought-provoking episode of Flow with Floyd, the place where we leave the noise of the world behind and tune in as something more real.
00:00:42.719 --> 00:00:45.359
I'm your host, the Minister Floyd Milan.
00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:49.039
I am so thankful that you decided to vibe with me.
00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:56.960
Now, whether you're winding down from a long day or just looking for that spark to get you into the right mindset, you come to the right spot.
00:00:57.039 --> 00:01:09.120
You see, here we talk about relationships, personal growth, living life with intent and purpose, and most importantly, finding that rhythm in life that keeps the flow moving forward.
00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:17.359
Now, before we get into today's episode, I want you to think about a specific moment in life where you sat down to do something.
00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:24.560
Maybe you're working on a creative project, writing a book, recording a podcast, or building something, and then you look up.
00:01:24.719 --> 00:01:30.879
Three hours have passed, but you're not tired, you're not frustrated, you're not stressed.
00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:35.359
You're in a zone where you're locked and loaded.
00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:38.079
Have you ever been there?
00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:39.920
That feeling isn't happenstance.
00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:47.599
It's not a gift, a talent that you are born with, it's not an accident, it's a state of the mind that can be engineered on demand whenever you want to.
00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:55.519
And today I'm going to show you exactly how to get there with a purpose every single day.
00:01:57.519 --> 00:02:06.239
I'm handing you a seven-step system that is built on real neuroscience that will change the way you get things done forever.
00:02:06.319 --> 00:02:11.199
So grab your favorite drink, sit back, relax, chill, and let's follow the flow.
00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:36.639
Before we get into the steps, let me tell you what the flow actually is because most people don't understand what it is and how powerful it is.
00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:45.280
Now you hear people say, I'm going with the flow, but most people never stop to ask themselves, whose flow are you actually following?
00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:48.159
The flow isn't about being in a good mood.
00:02:48.639 --> 00:02:51.680
It's not about having a perfect morning routine.
00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:58.240
It's not something that's exclusively reserved for

artists or athletes or people who meditate two times a day.
00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:01.840
You see, flow is a neurological state.
00:03:01.919 --> 00:03:06.240
And when you're in flow, your brain does something remarkable.
00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:13.840
It releases five performance-enhancing neurochemicals that includes dopamine, serotonin, and endorphins.
00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:17.919
That's why a sense of time shifts.
00:03:18.319 --> 00:03:20.960
That's why everything feels effortless.
00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:25.520
That's why the quality of your work shoots through the roof.
00:03:26.319 --> 00:03:35.759
You know, there was this researcher, I'm not even going to try to pronounce his name, but I do know that he spent decades studying this state of flow.
00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:47.439
His conclusion: flow has specific repeatable conditions that you can engineer, that you can trigger, that you could build your life around.
00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:50.319
Seven steps, seven upgrades to the way you work.
00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:52.479
And let's walk through every single one.
00:03:53.199 --> 00:04:03.840
Because real growth begins when you stop drifting through life and start creating a flow that aligns with your purpose, your values, and your visions.
00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:13.919
Now, step one is you must understand flow at a mechanical level.
00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:18.480
Flow has three non-negotiable conditions.
00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:21.120
All of these must be present.
00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:27.439
If one is missing, you won't get there, no matter how hard you try.
00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:32.079
Condition one, clear goals.
00:04:32.959 --> 00:04:36.959
You need to know precisely what done looks like before you start.
00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:38.879
Not I'll work on the report.
00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:40.480
That's not a goal.
00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:42.079
That's a vibe.
00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:47.199
I will write the executive summary section, two paragraphs finished by 10 a.m.
00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:49.439
That's a goal.
00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:54.160
Condition number two, immediate feedback.
00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:59.040
You have to be able to tell in real time whether you're making progress.
00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:02.560
A musician hears every note.
00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:05.680
A coder sees the output.
00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:08.319
A reader reads the sentence back.
00:05:09.279 --> 00:05:16.240
If you can't tell how you're doing, your brain can't enter flow.
00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:18.879
Condition three.
00:05:20.079 --> 00:05:22.319
Challenge and skill balance.
00:05:23.040 --> 00:05:31.120
The task needs to be slightly above your comfort zone, maybe about 4% harder than what you could do on an autopilot.
00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:35.120
If it's too easy, you'll coast and you adrift.
00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:38.959
Too hard, you're panicking shut down.
00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:42.160
That's the sweet spot in the middle.
00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:44.399
That's
the channel flow.
00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:49.759
So here's step one exercise I want you to actually do.
00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:55.120
I want you to think back to the last time you genuinely lost track of time.
00:05:56.079 --> 00:05:57.759
What were you doing?
00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:00.079
What made it absorbing?
00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:04.639
That activity, that's your natural flow trigger.
00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:09.120
Now I want you to remember that because we're gonna use it later.
00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:47.519
Now you hear people say, I'm going with the flow, but most people never stop to ask themselves, whose flow are you actually following?
00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:50.399
The flow isn't about being in a good mood.
00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:53.920
It's not about having a perfect morning routine.
00:06:54.480 --> 00:07:00.560
It's not something that's exclusively reserved for artists or athletes or people who meditate two times a day.
00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:04.079
You see, flow is a neurological state.
00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:08.560
And when you're in flow, your brain does something remarkable.
00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:18.000
It releases cocktails of five performance enhanced neurochemicals that includes dopamine, serotonin, and endorphins.
00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:21.759
That's why a sense of time shifts.
00:07:22.160 --> 00:07:24.879
That's why everything feels effortless.
00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:29.360
That's why the quality of your work shoots through the roof.
00:07:30.160 --> 00:07:39.600
You know, there was this researcher, I'm not even gonna try to pronounce his name, but I do know that he spent decades studying this state of flow.
00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:51.279
His conclusion flow has specific repeatable conditions that you can engineer, that you can trigger, that you can build your life around.
00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:54.160
Seven steps, seven upgrades to the way you work.
00:07:54.240 --> 00:07:56.399
And let's walk through every single one.
00:07:57.040 --> 00:08:07.680
Because real growth begins when you stop drifting through life and start creating a flow that aligns with your purpose, your values, and your visions.
00:08:10.319 --> 00:08:17.759
Now, step one is you must understand flow at a mechanical level.
00:08:19.199 --> 00:08:23.040
Flow has three non-conditional conditions.
00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:27.199
Flow has three non-negotiable conditions.
00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:29.839
All of these must be present.
00:08:30.319 --> 00:08:36.159
If one is missing, you won't get there, no matter how hard you try.
00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:40.799
Condition one, clear goals.
00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:45.679
You need to know precisely what done looks like before you start.
00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:47.600
Not I'll work on the report.
00:08:47.759 --> 00:08:49.200
That's not a goal.
00:08:49.440 --> 00:08:50.879
That's a vibe.
00:08:51.440 --> 00:08:55.919
I will write the executive summary section, two paragraphs finished by 10 a.m.
00:08:56.639 --> 00:08:58.159
That's a goal.
00:08:59.200 --> 00:09:02.960
Condition number two, immediate feedback.
00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:07.759
You have to be able to tell in real time whether you're making progress.
00:09:08.799 --> 00:09:11.200
A musician hears every note.
00:09:12.080 --> 00:09:14.399
A coder sees the output.
00:09:14.720 --> 00:09:17.039
A reader reads the sentence back.
00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:24.960
If you can't tell how you're doing, your brain can't enter flow.
00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:27.600
Condition three.
00:09:28.799 --> 00:09:31.039
Challenge and skill balance.
00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:39.840
The task needs to be slightly above your comfort zone, maybe about four percent harder than what you could do on an autopilot.
00:09:40.240 --> 00:09:44.000
If it's too easy, you'll coast and you adrift.
00:09:44.480 --> 00:09:47.679
Too hard, you'll panic and shut down.
00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:50.639
That's the sweet spot in the middle.
00:09:51.360 --> 00:09:52.879
That's the channel flow.
00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:58.320
So here's step one exercise I want you to actually do.
00:09:59.120 --> 00:10:03.759
I want you to think back to the last time you genuinely lost track of time.
00:10:04.799 --> 00:10:06.399
What were you doing?
00:10:06.879 --> 00:10:08.480
What made it absorbing?
00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:10.480
That activity.
00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:13.279
That's your natural flow trigger.
00:10:13.759 --> 00:10:17.679
I want you to remember that because we're gonna use it later.
00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:32.879
Step number two.
00:10:34.320 --> 00:10:36.639
Design your flow environment.
00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:42.159
Now, here's one thing that most productivity advice completely ignores.
00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:48.799
Your environment is doing half the work before you even sit down.
00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:56.240
Your space is either pulling you into flow or pushing you out of it, and you get to choose which one.
00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:03.679
There are three elements to the flow environment formula.
00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:06.559
There's space.
00:11:07.840 --> 00:11:15.279
You must have one consistent spot, same chair, same desk, same corner at the coffee shop.
00:11:15.519 --> 00:11:27.360
Every time you do deep work, your brain learns to associate that location with focus, and after a few weeks becomes a trigger.
00:11:30.320 --> 00:11:32.000
Then we have sound.
00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:38.000
Before I record an episode, I listened to my intro three or four times.
00:11:38.879 --> 00:11:43.919
Now I started doing this after realizing something very powerful.
00:11:44.960 --> 00:11:50.320
My brain begins to shift the moment those first notes hit.
00:11:51.200 --> 00:11:55.440
It recognizes the sound and instantly knows what's coming.
00:11:55.600 --> 00:12:01.919
If you want to enter a state of flow, you need to condition your brain to do the same.
00:12:03.279 --> 00:12:08.240
Train it to recognize certain sounds, environments, or routines.
00:12:09.279
--> 00:12:17.039
These are signals that it's time to focus, to create, and to become locked in.
00:12:19.039 --> 00:12:20.879
And then you have signal.
00:12:21.919 --> 00:12:26.879
Now, this is a ritual that tells your brain that flow begins now.
00:12:27.840 --> 00:12:38.720
It could be making a specific kind of tea, writing your a single goal on the post-it, taking deep breaths.
00:12:38.960 --> 00:12:46.000
Whatever it is, it needs to be consistent and it needs to happen before every single session.
00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:55.200
Now, for step two, your exercise is for you for you to design your five-minute pre-flow ritual.
00:12:56.399 --> 00:12:57.840
What will you do?
00:12:58.240 --> 00:12:59.440
Write it down.
00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:03.440
Because if it's not written, it doesn't exist.
00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:08.960
Now that we built the container for the flow, let's talk about what destroys it.
00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:14.240
Step number three is to eliminate the enemies of flow.
00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:17.600
Check this out.
00:13:18.799 --> 00:13:26.559
If you have one interruption, it costs you an average of 23 minutes to fully recover your focus.
00:13:28.080 --> 00:13:29.360
Think about that.
00:13:30.559 --> 00:13:32.320
23 minutes.
00:13:33.600 --> 00:13:42.480
So what that means, if you get interrupted just twice during a morning session, you've lost almost an hour of deep work.
00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:48.480
And the truth is that most people get interrupted dozens of times a day.
00:13:48.799 --> 00:13:53.759
Just imagine how much work you can get done without the interruptions.
00:13:54.720 --> 00:13:57.360
Now there are four main flow killers.
00:13:58.240 --> 00:14:04.960
I'm going to give you each of them, and I'm also going to tell you how to fix each one.
00:14:06.159 --> 00:14:08.080
First, there's notifications.
00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:18.000
Your phone is a slot machine designed by the smartest engineers to pull you out of the present moment.
00:14:19.200 --> 00:14:25.360
Think about how many times that you have been interrupted because of a notification on your phone.
00:14:25.840 --> 00:14:36.960
Therefore, the fix is put do not disturb, always, not sometimes, especially during your flow session.
00:14:38.399 --> 00:14:40.879
The second killer is open loops.
00:14:42.080 --> 00:14:52.799
Every unfinished task, every nagging worry, every I need to remember this, I need to remember that consumes your work and memory.
00:14:53.919 --> 00:14:59.679
So therefore, before you start each session, you need to do a brain dump.
00:15:00.720 --> 00:15:06.399
Get it all out of your head and onto paper, and then close that loop.
00:15:09.919 --> 00:15:13.039
Third, it's unclear goals.
00:15:14.960 --> 00:15:20.080
Now we talked about this one in step one, but it bears repeating.
00:15:20.559 --> 00:15:28.960
If you sit down without knowing exactly what you're trying to accomplish, your brain will wander.
00:15:30.639 --> 00:15:36.159
So
before every session, you need to define what done looks like.
00:15:36.320 --> 00:15:37.600
The fourth killer.
00:15:44.960 --> 00:15:53.519
But during your hardest thinking, during your lowest energy hours, it's like trying to sprint in quicksand.
00:15:54.720 --> 00:16:00.320
So therefore, you need to know your peak window and protect it at all costs.
00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:07.840
For step three, here's your exercise.
00:16:08.320 --> 00:16:12.639
Write this sentence before every work session.
00:16:12.960 --> 00:16:17.200
Today's session is successful when I have blank.
00:16:17.679 --> 00:16:44.559
Then fill the blank in and do it every single time and watch how much you get done.dreisig apparel.com and place your order today.
00:17:02.399 --> 00:17:04.720
But the hours are not all equal.
00:17:06.160 --> 00:17:17.440
From a biological perspective, we have a two-hour window every day when our brain is running at its best.
00:17:18.880 --> 00:17:26.960
Your focus is sharper, your creativity is higher, your willpower is at its strongest.
00:17:28.640 --> 00:17:31.279
That's called your peak performance.
00:17:32.880 --> 00:17:39.200
Now, for most people, roughly 70% of us, this peak is between 9 a.m.
00:17:39.359 --> 00:17:40.480
and 12 p.m.
00:17:42.880 --> 00:17:45.519
And then you have your night owls.
00:17:46.480 --> 00:17:49.200
They can have their peak as late as 9 p.m.
00:17:50.319 --> 00:17:53.680
And there are people that are everywhere in between.
00:17:55.039 --> 00:17:57.039
But here's the issue.
00:17:57.680 --> 00:18:01.359
Most people have no idea when their peak window is.
00:18:02.480 --> 00:18:14.000
So they schedule their most important task or work based on calendar availability instead of biological readiness.
00:18:14.480 --> 00:18:18.559
And yet they wonder why they feel sluggish and unproductive.
00:18:21.839 --> 00:18:25.920
Just like you're in the zone, you also could be out of the zone.
00:18:26.079 --> 00:18:31.599
Now, see the problem isn't always discipline, sometimes it's timing.
00:18:32.319 --> 00:18:39.519
See, you're trying to force a high-level performance out of a low-energy version of yourself.
00:18:44.799 --> 00:18:56.079
Flow doesn't happen by accident, it happens when your mind, your body, and the environment are aligned.
00:18:57.279 --> 00:19:03.680
The people who constantly perform at the highest level aren't just working harder.
00:19:04.720 --> 00:19:12.240
They've learned when they naturally operate at their best, and they protect that window at all costs.
00:19:22.960 --> 00:19:28.079
Here's what I want you to do for the next three days.
00:19:28.400 --> 00:19:32.400
Every two hours, I want you to monitor your energy level.
00:19:32.960 --> 00:19:39.039
Now on a scale of one to ten, I want you to rate your meta your mental energy.
00:19:39.759 --> 00:19:42.160
Now you do this for three days straight.
00:19:42.799 --> 00:19:47.039
By day three, the pattern should become obvious.
00:19:47.279 -->
00:19:53.440
Your highest two-hour window every day, that's your sacred flow block.
00:19:55.839 --> 00:19:58.319
And but here's the key.
00:19:58.640 --> 00:20:02.480
Once you know it, you block it in your calendar.
00:20:02.799 --> 00:20:13.200
Label it, deep work, do not touch, treat it like a board meeting with no exceptions, and you'll get a lot more done in your day.
00:20:13.359 --> 00:20:18.720
The fifth step is learning how to master the flow trigger stack.
00:20:19.920 --> 00:20:23.200
Now, this is where things are going to get really interesting.
00:20:23.359 --> 00:20:25.920
So I'm gonna need for you to pay attention.
00:20:28.319 --> 00:20:53.279
Flow researchers have identified what they call flow triggers, specific conditions that push the brain towards the neurological cocktail that we talked about earlier, and that and the really powerful thing is this here you can stack them to become more effective.
00:20:54.400 --> 00:21:04.720
Now, here are the top seven triggers, and all I want you to do is pick three that resonate the most with you.
00:21:08.960 --> 00:21:12.480
Number one, clear goes.
00:21:28.799 --> 00:21:45.039
This is why athletes are able to flow naturally, they are fully connected to their bodies, fully engaged in the moment, and they're not trapped into overthinking.
00:21:48.799 --> 00:21:54.799
Number three complete focus, single task only.
00:21:55.599 --> 00:21:59.440
First things first, second things never.
00:22:00.640 --> 00:22:05.920
Multitasking is the enemy of the flow, so stop doing it.
00:22:07.119 --> 00:22:10.000
4 autonomy.
00:22:10.960 --> 00:22:14.319
The feeling that this is your choice.
00:22:15.440 --> 00:22:21.440
You're not being controlled or pressured into doing what you're doing because you're in command.
00:22:22.079 --> 00:22:32.960
You see, flow increases when you feel like you're steering your own ship instead of simply reacting to what life has to offer.
00:22:36.480 --> 00:22:41.119
Number five, immediate feedback.
00:22:42.000 --> 00:22:45.200
You know what you're doing in real time.
00:22:48.000 --> 00:23:00.160
Number six, pattern triggers, the same environment, the same ritual, the same signal every day, every time.
00:23:01.039 --> 00:23:09.359
By doing this, your brain learns the pattern and it starts it, it starts to anticipate the state.
00:23:10.480 --> 00:23:15.759
And number seven, challenge and skill balance.
00:23:30.799 --> 00:23:32.640
That's your sweet spot.
00:23:33.440 --> 00:23:39.200
Now I want you to pick three of them to become your precess pre-session ritual.
00:23:40.000 --> 00:23:45.680
Now, your exercise for step five is to write out a personal flow ritual.
00:23:47.279 --> 00:23:51.039
Do this before every session for about 21 days.
00:23:51.359 --> 00:23:59.279
And after three weeks, your brain will start entering flow almost automatically when you begin your ritual.
00:24:00.480 --> 00:24:02.720
Let them marinate for a minute.
00:24:07.920 --> 00:24:12.559
Then gear up with the real deal and give DrySick an opportunity to take care of your needs.
00:24:12.640 --> 00:24:20.000
So go check out www.dr-e-is-i-g apparel.com and place your order today.
00:24:20.160 --> 00:24:25.119
As a customer myself, I can say that quality customer service is their specialty.
00:24:28.720 --> 00:24:31.279
Now we move on to step six.
00:24:32.000 --> 00:24:37.519
Once you've entered a state of flow, you must learn to recover like a pro.
00:24:38.400 --> 00:24:40.079
And here's why.
00:24:40.640 --> 00:24:46.799
Neuroscience tells us that deep focus maxes at around 90 minutes.
00:24:47.279 --> 00:24:53.039
After that, the quality of your thinking starts to decline, even though you don't feel like it.
00:24:53.519 --> 00:24:58.079
You're still working, but you're not really in flow anymore.
00:24:59.839 --> 00:25:09.920
The top performers, whether it's athletes, musicians, writers, surgeons, or singers, they don't work longer.
00:25:10.799 --> 00:25:18.559
They work in sharper, more intentional blocks of time, with a deliberate recovery plan in between.
00:25:21.200 --> 00:25:24.079
Here's a recovery protocol that I use.
00:25:25.279 --> 00:25:27.920
After 90 minutes, I do a hard stop.
00:25:29.359 --> 00:25:31.599
When the timer stops, I stop.
00:25:33.839 --> 00:25:37.680
Not one more sentence, not one more thought, not one more function.
00:25:38.400 --> 00:25:40.079
I do it hard stop.
00:25:41.440 --> 00:25:44.319
Then I get up and I move around for 10 minutes.
00:25:44.640 --> 00:25:49.519
I might walk, might stretch, might even do some push-ups.
00:25:49.839 --> 00:25:54.000
Anything that I can do to get me out of my head.
00:25:55.119 --> 00:25:58.319
So I encourage you to give your brain a real rest.
00:26:00.640 --> 00:26:02.319
Look out the window.
00:26:02.640 --> 00:26:04.240
Look at the sky.
00:26:04.960 --> 00:26:07.279
Let your eyes defocus.
00:26:08.799 --> 00:26:11.200
Here's a brief reflection for you.
00:26:12.079 --> 00:26:14.079
Ask yourself two questions.
00:26:14.720 --> 00:26:20.480
What went well in that block, and what will I adjust for the next one?
00:26:20.799 --> 00:26:22.559
That's all it takes.
00:26:23.759 --> 00:26:30.480
So for step six exercise, I want you to write your 10-minute recovery routine.
00:26:31.039 --> 00:26:35.920
What specifically will you do after your timer rings?
00:26:36.720 --> 00:26:37.920
Write it out.
00:26:38.319 --> 00:26:46.480
Because in the moment when you're tempted to keep going, you already need to know what you're going to do instead.
00:26:48.160 --> 00:26:55.119
Make sense, and finally we have step seven.
00:26:58.000 --> 00:27:03.279
You need to track, iterate, and build.
00:27:05.759 --> 00:27:09.279
Here's the brutal truth about any performance system.
00:27:10.880 --> 00:27:13.920
What gets measured improves.
00:27:15.039 --> 00:27:18.640
What gets ignored disappears.
00:27:19.440 --> 00:27:22.000
I want you to think about that for a second.
00:27:22.720 --> 00:27:25.519
Now you don't need a complicated dashboard.
00:27:25.759 --> 00:27:29.039
You just need four simple questions answered.
00:27:29.599 --> 00:27:37.839
Question one, how many blocks of time for the flow did I complete this week?
00:27:38.799 --> 00:27:42.640
Number two, which triggers work the best?
00:27:43.519 --> 00:27:47.279
Which ones do I skip or ignore?
00:27:48.559 --> 00:27:54.079
Number three, what is my flow score?
00:27:54.880 --> 00:28:00.640
What is my subjective sense of how deeply I enter the flow each session?
00:28:00.960 --> 00:28:04.720
Is it trending up or is it trending down?
00:28:05.519 --> 00:28:13.359
And the fourth question is, what is the one thing that I'll change or improve for next week?
00:28:14.400 --> 00:28:15.599
And that's it.
00:28:16.000 --> 00:28:17.759
Four simple questions.
00:28:18.079 --> 00:28:19.519
Every Sunday.
00:28:19.839 --> 00:28:25.119
See, there's a compounding effect that is kind of staggering.
00:28:25.519 --> 00:28:28.400
Now you go into week one, you're just getting started.
00:28:28.880 --> 00:28:32.799
By week three, you're starting to see the real patterns.
00:28:33.279 --> 00:28:46.319
And by week eight, you have a personalized, data-driven flow system built specifically for your brain, your schedule, and your work.
00:28:47.440 --> 00:28:54.960
Nobody else on the planet has that system, and nobody else can give it to you.
00:28:55.599 --> 00:28:59.119
You have to build and create it for yourself.
00:28:59.599 --> 00:29:02.160
And now you know exactly how to do it.
00:29:21.200 --> 00:29:22.720
That's where it's at.
00:29:23.519 --> 00:29:24.480
Seven steps.
00:29:24.559 --> 00:29:26.319
Now let's do a fast recap.
00:29:27.519 --> 00:29:33.359
Step one, understand the three non-negotiable conditions for flow.
00:29:33.920 --> 00:29:40.240
Clear goals, immediate feedback, and the challenge skill balance.
00:29:42.160 --> 00:29:46.559
Step two design your flow environment.
00:29:47.119 --> 00:29:52.480
Remember space, sound, and signal.
00:29:54.000 --> 00:29:55.279
Step three.
00:29:56.720 --> 00:29:59.759
Eliminate the four flow killers.
00:30:00.160 --> 00:30:05.119
Notifications, open loops, unclear goals, and wrong timing.
00:30:06.319 --> 00:30:13.039
Step four, find your peak window and protect it like your life depended upon it.
00:30:14.880 --> 00:30:21.920
Step five, build your personal track trigger stack and turn it into a pre-session ritual.
00:30:23.200 --> 00:30:28.160
Step six recover like a pro.
00:30:29.440 --> 00:30:33.599
Nine minutes on, then do a hard stop.
00:30:35.920 --> 00:30:44.960
The final step is to track, iterate, and compound every single week.
00:30:46.079 --> 00:30:48.240
So here's my challenge for you.
00:30:49.599 --> 00:30:53.920
One flow block every day for 21 days.
00:30:54.559 --> 00:30:56.480
Track your score nightly.
00:30:56.960 --> 00:30:58.880
Just the number from one to ten.
00:30:59.680 --> 00:31:01.440
How deep did you go?
00:31:02.079 --> 00:31:04.960
Then I want you to review it every Sunday.
00:31:05.279 --> 00:31:10.480
After 21 days, compare your week one to your week three.
00:31:11.200 --> 00:31:14.880
And I guarantee you that the results will convince you forever.
00:31:16.000 --> 00:31:23.839
If this episode was useful, share it with someone who's who's been telling you that they can't focus lately.
00:31:24.720 --> 00:31:26.160
They need this.
00:31:27.119 --> 00:31:29.359
I'm the minister Floyd Miley.
00:31:30.079 --> 00:31:32.000
This is Flow with Floyd.
00:31:33.599 --> 00:31:36.559
Let the noise just fade away.
00:31:39.200 --> 00:31:42.240
Find your peace and start today.
00:31:44.000 --> 00:31:52.559
Just breathe in this quiet space with a gentle, steady pace.
00:31:53.519 --> 00:31:56.480
Growth will bloom here in its time.
00:31:59.119 --> 00:32:02.240
Growth will bloom here in its time.
