Flow FAQ

I’ve been speaking publicly about Flow for about a year now. Here are the most common questions I get…

• Can I get into Flow when I want to or does it just happen accidentally?

• Can I have big Flow and little Flow?

• What role does Play have in Flow?

• Can I get into Flow at work?

• How can I learn more about Flow?

Can I get into Flow when I want to or does it just happen accidentally?

If you understand the flow cycle, you can schedule activities and create routines that will be conducive to flow!

Can I have big Flow and little Flow?

YES! Olympic gold medals are probably earned in MACROFlow. My readjusting of elements on a slide in a Canva presentation for two hours is probably MIDFlow. And chess with my ten year old on a sunny day at a busy brewery is probably MICROFlow.

What role does Play have in Flow?

A VITAL role! If we consider play at every stage of the cycle, we can really thrive.

Can I get into Flow at work?

The average adult gets into Flow most OFTEN at work!

How can I learn more about Flow?

Read anything Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi ever wrote.

Read Mapping Cloud Nine or other books by Steven Kotler

Watch my TEDxManitouSprings talk

Take this self-paced video course (OR workbook only option!)

Sometimes I include questions in these emails to YOU, Acey. Usually one or two folks will respond, so just a reminder that I’m really here on the other end! Squarespace sends them as a batch, but I wrote them and replies come straight to my email inbox just like any other email! I really would like to hear from you.
