The area

2008 September 16 2008

In a very good blog about personal productivity called the basket , I found the following post which talks about "the zone ". The same concerns when we get to be in those moments where conseguis absolute concentration on what you're doing, with the consequence of losing track of time completely.

In the post to give some tips on things to do to stay long in the area. Like being on a subject I know, but where there is always something to learn, you must also be challenging, we should encourage us to do and have a fast reaction (The times I remember being in the area when I was in charge of making the windows of technology, Pasban hours and hours, lost sales, but I was excited very much and kept me with full attention to what he was doing, the quick response I had was every two minutes to see if it was running or not)

As entrepreneurs (not necessarily people who have your business, but people with attitudes to change things), but it is important to leave the comfort zone , the most important thing that our entrepreneurial activity in the area. When we talk about the passion we must do things, focus, energy and other attributes, we refer to many of the things we found in this area.

Another important fact to know that you can, think that there is the possibility of achieving my goal more difficult it may seem. The way to accomplish something impossible or not known, first thinking it is possible and there, after checking which way to take us to our destination and so work in our step by step, fully focused.

Something very important is to get away from bad areas, like the criticism. It is a normal attitude, which inadvertently fall by the people around us. Where no real reason everything is wrong, everyone is complaining and complaining transmits culture. Ex: There's this underground that is filled! If it is a crap, they have to fix it! Because he's always bad! It travels like cows! Where perhaps it is 6 pm and a subway is coming less than 3 minutes each, for 90 cents! Another example is in the more traditional works: This work is a m ...., Underpaid, are a lot of hours, they ask you anything, in such other place x charge more. But no one says how to improve things, or do something to improve it, only complain as martyrs, on top of you where you work x who charges more, but installed another critical area where charge more but have more problems and head does not value what they do ( you told pumpkin? ). L or important is to make an important and significant act to cut it, but if you do not succeed ANDAT!, Because most do not want it going to affect you.

In closing I want to take this phrase from Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi "What's interesting is that people who were doing something active and concentrated felt happier than people who watch TV without thinking."

There is a book by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi Flow is called and it is precisely this. Instead of "being in the zone," the called "flow." I did not read it but from friends who are very good. If you are interested in the topic is how to deepen it.

Yes, this is what is called "entering flow" ... For a software developer is also important.

Days would have to plan for mini thousand things to do, and days to be in flux (or at least, much of the day).

In the longer term, I try to take me two weeks sabbatical for anions, as now:
