The two sources cited in the video - Flow by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi and Peopleware by Tom DeMarco and Tim Lister present ideas that are not only linked to productivity, but also happiness and satisfaction. The very latest happiness research shows that when we can focus in a concentrated way on producing a challenging result we are fulfilled, and even ecstatic. Matt Killingsworth makes a similar point about our not allowing mind wandering,  unhappy thoughts to dominate our minds. (Both Csikszentmihalyi and Killingsworth are featured in TED.com talks on this topic.)

It takes effort to protect your physical environment from distractions so that the Flow state becomes a routine choice, rather than an exception. Also, a professional needs needs to take care of his/her temporal environment so that they are not distracted by demands on their time that they are currently not completing.

New! We have an interactive training video + quiz that focuses on the skill of maintaining the Flow state. Visit to learn more about Flow by doing a short, individual self-assessment -  http://plus.mytimedesign.com/indexlearningsolo.html
