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.
