Are you feeling stuck in your work? Are you unable to get your creative juices flowing? It might be because you're not challenging yourself enough or the task is simply too easy. Remember, flow occurs when our skill matches the difficulty of the task - the Goldilocks zone 🤩

By reading this (and other tweets) you've reduced your attention span by 40%. It can cause you to live most of your days with mental clutter. Imagine driving a car with a foggy windshield. Wouldn't it be better to de-fog the windshield before driving?
