What is something that you’ve found you can do to reliably slip into a flow state? 

In particular, a flow state *of work*.

Two examples could be drinking a morning coffee or packing a zyn but I am much more interested in answers that do not involve substances.

A good one for me is turning on a 60 min pomodoro time

Non-substance tips for finding flow

1. Wake up early enough to be sleep deprived but not have a sleep deficit (e.g. you slept well the days before)
2. Have a foreign language class where you’re talking in the other language 1:1.
3. Drink lots of water and hold your pee / don’t eat until ~1-3 pm


4. *Like what you

The only problem is externality pricing.

Yah lmk if you try them interested to hear if they work for you. 

Sleep you normal hours (for me 10pm - 8:30am) then one morning wake up much earlier (for me 3 hours earlier: 5:30 am)

In general, I use these categories of tools for more creativity:
1. Cognitive disequilibrium (sleep deprivation, drugs, emotional arousal)
2. Filter exhaustion (foreign language, decision fatigue, public dancing)
3. Physical urgency (hunger, pain, need-to-pee, procrastination, stay up late, fomo)

These are outside the box… thanks. Can you elaborate on #1 / maybe give an example w numbers not sure what it means.
