On today’s episode we go over how to get into "flow state" for work productivity. We go over:

• The history and origins of "flow" as a psychological phenomenon: from Albert Heim to the real godfarther of the concept, Mihaly Csikzentmihaly. 
• Autotelic vs. Non-Autotelic personalities
• Biological Peak Time & Ultradian Rhythm 
• My Self-Help test and score for flow state

This is possibly my favorite episode so far so I'm excited for you to tune in!
