Non-technical folks: What does it look like when you're "in the zone"? Developers will often point to being focused on a problem with nothing but a text editor, a terminal, and headphones. What's your equivalent? Describe it in as much detail as possible.

Roam daily pages X Spotify (liked or wkly discover playlist) X 1 question. From there the flow becomes documenting every thought, feeling, emotion, occurring, till it all converges on that 1 question. Sometimes 1-2hr endeavor other times 15-30mins. Then I go on a micro-cast splurge. Rinse repeat.

Headphones on, ambient electronic music blaring in my ears, fresh cup of coffee on the desk, current word editor of choice open to a fresh page, clear sense of what I want to write about, no interruptions or scheduled events for the next 4+ hours

Similar but it's docs and/or Figma. You're asking the right questions, you're writing the right notes. It's beautiful.

Resonance between what matters most and what my days look like. Here’s one e.g.: movement is a core value of mine. Optimization is when I go for a walk with partner and box in the same day. Baseline is when I get outside for a walk around the block by myself.

For writing: 2-3 hours into writing session, gamma wave binaural beats playing on repeat, GDoc on vertical monitor, dictionary app, browser with *only relevant* links, white laminate desk is marked up with expo marker thoughts, I've thought about the topic from 4+ different perspectives, perfectionist brain is quiet

Flow state. Walking the beach with headphones thinking through a problem. Also, headphones and doc editor works as well. Driving a significant distance, hours. Headphones seem to always be involved.

An open folder with 40+ images for reference, electronic music without vocals, usually dj sets, and 4 to 6 hours of uninterrupted drawing, social media sites shut down and usually ideas go fast and hands try to make what is in the brain.

- dead silence - Nalgene bottle full - black coffee, hot - fingers don’t pause on keyboard, just a steady stream of words on a doc

Highest impact in the zone work usually means lowest tech use. A sharpie, large color coded sticky notes, & blank walls. Mapping customer journeys, messaging, sequences & frequency. It gets put into tech later but nothing beats 4 empty walls for visualizing the journey, finding leaks, filling gaps & finding new levers.

headphones on, a Lane 8-ish set, usually writing or editing a document. I enter a zone of focus with fluid motion of thoughts with no distractions getting in the way. Editing in Lightroom and getting so fixated on a photo that I can't think about anything else until it looks right. At the gym + lose track of time
