I’m coauthoring a guidance paper and had to draft my section this week. Pretty much stared at a blank screen, uninspired. Made no progress. Started to stress knowing a deadline was looming.

Woke up today to a quiet house, took out paper and pencil, and it all came to me. 

A good reminder to work like a lion 🦁

Trying to force flow state by staring at a screen has never worked for me. 

I know I should step away. 

Go for a run. Sit in a coffee shop with a pad of paper. Hike in the woods. Take a shower. Ponder while falling asleep. Get a pedicure. Take a drive. 

But I get lazy and sit at my desk. 😖

Practicing meta cognition and being able to observe your own self is a useful tool. I know what hyper productivity looks and feels like and when I’m in flow state. I suppose that’s the first step in changing habits to actually work like a lion and not just claim to.

@saymore Can you say more about your process with working like a lion?

It’s Naval’s lion vs. cow analogy. 

“While cows work and work and work, grazing all day long to stay full and nourished, lions rest until they see an opportunity and then, suddenly, they attack with a tremendous ferocity.”
