I create a structure to get myself into flow so that it is by design, not random. See, flow state isn't random, it's designed. And when you're in it, guess what? I don't think about going to the bathroom. I don't worry about what other people think of me. I don't worry if my work's very good. When I'm in flow state, it produces the best work possible.

The way I quickly get into flow is I create focus triggers. So for example, the location, the chair that I sit in to do my reading, to outline my goals, to ideate. I mean, even when I go off sites with my wife to plan or quarterly planning or year-end planning, those are triggers for us to focus on designing our future, not worry about what happened this week or next week or anything like that.

The second is sound. When I need to focus, I have to have music playing. It's a vibe, it's a strategy. Deep work, I'll sometimes put on playlists that have no words or I'll use a special app that uses binaural beats to actually improve my ability to focus. Headphones are a must because I can't be distracted with other people's noise. And the last one is routines.

When you look at world-class athletes and you think about how they visualize, how they warm up, the way they structure their day, their week, their month, it is a rhythm. It is a rhythm of success and it is a routine. And a lot of people think, well, that would be boring. You know what's not boring? Having the resources to do what you want, when you want, with who you want.
