Where does it occur?

We have the artifacts in our organizational culture to begin experimenting with these new and different ways of working and then collect feedback from each other, from our colleagues and see how it's going and see what we want to tweak and develop.

Steve Jobs, excuse me.

In your defense, I will say you have to be self-aware.

You need to be compassionate with yourself.

When you write a book, you learn a lot.

You have to talk to a lot of different people.

You research, I research.

And I used to think I'm horrible at meditating.

I am a superb daydreamer.

I love daydreaming.

I take daydream breaks.

I recommend that everyone takes daily daydream breaks.

If it's just one a day, set your timer for 90 seconds, standby window, watch the clouds drift.

Daydreaming is really essential for divergent thinking to activate the default mode network.

so that when you return to the work at hand, your thinking is actually much clearer, different neurosynapses are at work where all the juicy bits of productivity happen.

But I used to think I was really not great at meditation until as I was researching the book, I learned there's also a type of kinesthetic meditation.

So I am a swimmer, and so when I'm swimming laps, I'm sure this happens for you on the road when you're just cycling,

you get into flow state because you're focused, right?

And you get out of your head into your body.
