The Power of Deep Work and Using Human Design to Find Your Flow-State

Maybe it's really hard for you to focus, or put consistent tasks in your calendar, or you can't complete a task to totality. Or maybe it feels really hard for you to come up with new creative ideas and you regurgitate the same old stuff.

We’re not taught or encouraged to do deep work in most of our settings, because that’s just not how most of society is operating right now, but when you’re constantly context switching, you can’t really rise above the swirl of everything to understand what is a priority and make those strategic decisions because you’re just playing catch up.

— Michelle Pellizzon
