Some tasks are just plain boring or overwhelming. But when you find the right middle between challenging and motivating you enter what is called, “the Zone”. Flow state is a mental state that facilitates productivity and predicts that the balance between a task difficulty and the individual ability to achieve it, boosts motivation.

If by the end of the episode you have any question about flow, purpose or collaboration, you can write to me at [email protected] If you are interested to dig deeper, here are some references I used to write the episode: https://www.on-running.com/en-us/explore/off-stories Flow Theory and Research, Nakamura J. and Csikszentmihalyi, Oxford Handbook of Positivr Psychology Soul, directed by  Pete Docter, Pixar *Disclaimer* I do not claim ownership of the content of Pixar in this podcast.
