Rían here. Thanks for watching! If you struggle to stay focused or ever feel like you work all day but get nothing done, this PDF will change the game for you.
With the science-backed techniques in this checklist, you can strategically stack flow blocks to exceed a month’s worth of work in less than a day.
Flow is spiritual. It is not conscious .
@@clintonsylvester1846 nice theory.
Thank you for the video, indeed I believe you are going to blow up because you are very underrated. I will remember you and maybe you will remember me, I am suprised by the quality of the video Good luck bro.
Your chances of achieving flow exponentially increase from a good nights rest. There are times when I have woken up super excited to start the day - I was in flow from the get go from a good bed, good spinal posture for energy flow, good diet routine before bed etc. I think eating heavy and too close to bed is a flow killer.
Also flow is a Gamma phenomenon not a theta alpha phenomenon. I can teach you how to access flow that could be as easy as 5-15 minutes - just stand and close your eyes and maybe even walk slowly around aimlessly with eyes closed - you will recover your missing deep sleep this way and when you have surplus energy your brain actives the flow state naturally into Gamma. If you need more than 15 minutes then that's actually a good sign it means you are sleep deprived! On some REALLY bad days I may do 1 - 2 hours. Don't be surprised if at some point in this standing sleep/meditation that you get extreme energy and motivation about life.
Wow #riandoris. Thanks for giving me a new word "flow" as my way of life in Bali, not just for 2 weeks; not just for 6 months, but since 1988, by "Whole Systems Design."
Have you ever been to Bali?
We use different VALUES to achieve FLOW.
I can teach you, if you want.
I have been learning about flow for some time now. Do NOT, I mean DO NOT mistake it as focused concentration! Flow is effortless. No need for energy. If you're resisting and you're pushing, you are not in flow. Flow is a spectrum, and at the end of it, out of body experience. I experienced this while running on a track at 11 pm alone pitch black with just my phone flash light illuminating a few feet in front of me. When there is only one task to do, no distractions, or even if there are distractions, it doesn't matter. The mind is on one thing and that alone. It's insane.
out of body experience?
@@gexpro008 Yes. I felt like I was a little alien lookin from my eyes. It was surreal. Intense. Terrifying tbh. Because at that point, I grasped and found a connection to my potential which is infinite. I finished my run with a 100 meter dash but it became into a 400. I slowed down because the feeling terrified me. In that instance, I felt like I could keep accelerating. Oh yeah that was after an hour of running and I finished with 400 meters of constant acceleration. When acceleratin, I felt like I could keep going, like I tapped and found the limiters on my body and I could use its full potential until it breaks so I took hold of the steering wheel and slowed down. Incredible feeling. I was laughing at the end lmao. I finished the run but I had more energy. It was amazing. Perhaps I should try running at night again.
@@gexpro008 to me this means working on something is so effortless that you forget the word exists and time just passes with ease as well as progress, your brain simply ignores everything and doesn’t get alerted until pulled out of it
@@catedoge3206 yes yes this is excatly how I felt when I ran today. I felt like I wasn't controlling my body. My body just moved effortlessly and I could feel it. Like a silent strong power just took over my body and I had no control. but I felt strong and limitless.
Really interesting! Thanks for sharing😊
Key Takeaways:
1. Flow state is a state of consciousness that makes work feel effortless, and is behind the success of many high-performing individuals.
2. The four pillars of flow state are: flow blockers, flow proneness, flow triggers, and the flow cycle.
Action Items:
Flow Blockers:
- Remove common sources of flow blockers, such as distractions from your phone.
- Practice "flow before phone": complete 2-3 hours of productive work before checking your phone.
Flow Proneness:
- Increase your likelihood of accessing flow by optimizing your physiology, psychology, and environment.
- Begin your most important work within 90 seconds of waking up, while your brain is still in a flow-friendly state.
Flow Triggers:
- Utilize flow triggers such as clear goals, immediate feedback, and challenge-skill balance.
- Apply these triggers to activities that may not naturally have them, like work tasks.
- Engage in tasks that are about 4% more difficult than your current skill level.
Flow Cycle:
- Understand that flow states operate like dimmer switches, not light switches.
- Persist through the struggle phase by practicing task persistence and attention span stretching.
- Allow yourself to release and recover after achieving flow, to replenish energy and integrate new knowledge or skills.

Did not expect this comment to blow up, thanks all :)
Thank you for this ❤
@@adnan7698 Glad to help man!
4% more difficult 😂
Thank youuu
God bless people like you 🙏 ❤️
Top tip: Decide what you want to do the next morning the night before. Make a clear list of some goals you want to achieve so when you wake up you can look at the list and take on each thing. This prevents you from having to this to much and instead get into the flow
Love that!
Well , lemme tell you something interesting .........You know what happens when we think of doing something our brain releases glutamate due to which we can't sleep properly ...We sleep when we are calm and relaxed cause when we are our brain releases GABA and glutamate is opposite to GABA... So , planning next day a night before can cause sleeplessness that night...
Ik you probably don't have insomnia or ADHD but still just for your knowledge I'm telling you moreover it would also remind me ....
yeah , that's what I prefer doing...@@kevincee444
@@theunique_one I have ADHD (didn't know until a couple years ago) and insomnia for as long as i can remember and that's the only thing that worked for me (both organizing my day and sleeping faster). Actually I tell everyone to ask me things the exact day before if possible, that way i can organize my days the night before.
Tho i have to add here the fact that i started meditating 20min before sleeping about the same time i started organizing like this (set up calendar, then meditation, then sleep), so that could be related.
@@Sora-zb8kv Your story and my story is same .....
I too have ADHD but I've OCD too....
I too can't sleep and I to do 20 minutes meditation of Daily calm , Great meditations , etc.....
I do it before sleep but I also do it in the morning , evening....
It relaxes me .....
I'm grateful to know about that...
Moreover , I listen to those sleeping music after that....
Life sometimes feels so good and sometimes so bad....
Btw , do you try something to control your ADHD?
i am 12 and after watching this my grade and my marks has rise in 3 month i went from 60-70% to 90-95% i use flow in my studies it helps a lot i am improving my flow but it is so much helpful not only that while i play sport my mindset went from arguing and trying to tell the that i am good to showing that. I'm happy that i watched this video while writhing i just wanted to write only few words but i wrote a lot then i though thx for reading
godspeed kid, you're gonna go far
I‘m 12 too and tbh I just wanted to forget about this because it sounded to complicated but after this motivational speech from you I‘m looking this video again and I‘ll try to understand
❤❤❤
As someone who used to be 12, my few regrets are not reading as much and allowing others to kill my curiosity! Do your best you are our future!
I've always had flow after I hit the lowest part of my life, I would meditate for what feels like around 40m-1h of just pure focus. So focused I no longer take any input from my 5 senses, a internal world is the best way I can describe the feeling. After I feel a speedup in all my senses. I hear, see, smell, taste, touch more than ever before. Changed the world for me, made me realize just how malleable we humans are. It helped me more than anything, and I hope the rare knowledge I presented helps you too.
lets push this amazing comment ;-)
@@maxXxbecks yup
yeah when the thoughts are no longer needed, cause they are 100% negative and you REALLY want to give them uo
As a long time educator in California I would beg someone take on the task of educating teachers and administrators in this concept. I mention the book FLOW in my book on Classroom Discipline 101 and the school systems are maniacally stuck in a matrix of mediocrity, the opposite of FLOW where they constantly frustrate and torture students through social promotion and an ideology of ‘meeting state standards’ rather than understanding students need to have a challenge 4% above their current level. Thanks for the video.
You ever know how to reach one's 100% subconscious?
This 'flow' concept... looks very helpful
😮
@@PedroJEgea Drugs
School is overall a bad system. There's kids much more skilled than others, making learning and expectations imbalanced. I prefer self learning, but it's not for everyone, especially for people with poor self control.
For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. You see, we all have sinned, and have broken God’s law (The Ten Commandments). Wrong doing deserves justice and must be punished (just like how a criminal has to pay for the crime they have committed) but God saved us from the eternal punishment of our sins by sending His Son Jesus Christ, fullness of God in flesh, to pay the penalty for us by dying on the cross and resurrecting, so that we may have everlasting life. Now for you to accept the free gift of grace, you must repent of your sins and put your faith in Jesus Christ and Bible says that His Blood will cover all of your sins, you will be forgiven, saved from eternal punishment, and be given everlasting life. By faith you will receive the Holy Spirit, become born again and He will transform your heart and clean you from the inside out. Turn away from sin, read the Bible, pray for the Holy Spirit to fill you and change you, obey the Word. Much love and God bless you!
"Flow" in this stage of extreme focus, it is the ultimate domain only for the chosen few 🗣🗣🔥🔥
Flow = Living in the Present moment = Meditation (at not so deep level) ... Mediation is a great tool to learn how to get into the Flow State
Rian Doris, I just came across your video on flow. I look at you as a role model, when I was born I had brain damage it was in the front left lobe, caused speech, read difficulty's and the simple understanding of math problems. It brings me great joy in seeing someone who has had a struggle in the past and over came the difference. when I was younger I used to do the wall trick you talked about, I always felt at peace staring at a wall putting my fall attention it felt like a canvas of my thoughts but I didn't know why I felt at peace. It makes me feel amazing know there are visionary people like you in the world. So Thank You For Becoming A role model in my life.
was expecting some trivial/obvious stuff about productivity but this was a well structured video with great info about the flow state. Earn my subscription hope i see more of your content!
I cannot stress how relatable the feeling of “flow” is, I feel like it mostly occurs doing the things you are most driven and passionate about, every time I swim at some point I get into this state of flow, it feels like an energy force which is just gluing me to the activity, like I wanna do it forever (I’m a swimmer fyi
I have been at a goal to maximize my productivity over the past couple of months. I have learned many things about how to do this and I have been taught what the flow state is, but I was never shown how to get into the state. Because of the insight you have given me, I have been able to get into the flow almost every day for longer periods of time before. I hope that this video can drive me to the final goals I want to achieve. Thank you for making this video Rian. Keep making amazing content like this.
Previously only heard of flow, but never saw such a detailed explanation and breakdown of it before! Thanks a ton, Rian, for making such a video!
Great to hear!
Breaking my flow learning about my flow
As a FRC and ZTD alumni I LOVE this stuff!! Thanks Rian & Steven.
Most welcome.
No, don't use your flow first thing in the morning to work on your business, stay in bed, contemplate, meditate, and obeserve your mind and thoughts. Get in touch with who you truly are, not what society is telling you who you're supposed to be, go over the day's plan, go over the big plan, think about the dreams you had and what they mean, how did these dreams make you feel, what is something in real life that triggers similar feelings, this is the most important thing to do every morning after sleep, this is the second half of sleep rejuvonation, you lose sleep healing properties when you do this to yourself, working on business, scrolling on tiktok, a billion context switches, instead, use the first 15-30 minutes after waking up, to intergrate your dreams and get all the psychological benefits from sleeping.
So true❤
That is for beginners. When you have a goal, then laser focus is key.
@@Gleichtritt hes not saying dont have laser focus. In fact, the advice he gave sets you up for laser focus.
@@Gleichtritt You are incorrect; this is far from a "beginner's" practice. You don't need to tear down factual, peer-reviewed studies that misalign with your opinions. The source of this information is professed and practiced by Dr. Andrew Huberman, a professor of neurobiology and ophthalmology at Stanford University, and Dr. Alok Kanojia, a monk for seven years turned psychiatrist.
i agree with some part of it but what i dont agree with is.. " all that time in bed " altho ur advice is not totally bad but rather good, but i think it doesnt suit everyone.. cuz like making the plans of the day and thinking that much is not so useful and worthy. INstead, just start your studies or work in the first hour itself.. ofc take your time in getting fresh, no need to be a machine
I just discovered your channel and i'm already loving it. The way you describe things with such detail and make it appealing to watch with a great editing style adds up to an amazing video to watch and learn from.
Keep it up!
Thank you so much!
1. Flow before phone - get 2-3 hrs of productive work done, first thing in the morning.
2. Start doing the work within first 90 seconds of the day. Develop flow proneness.
3. Flow triggers - immediate feedback, clear vision and challenge/skill above 4% your current level.
4. Flow cycle - stretch your attention span, develop this muscle.
I feel this to be the best video i have watched on yt after a really long time, like finally something relevant. Thankyou so much. In simple words what i took away from this video is to identify my blockers and have courage to improvise on change and growth
So clear, to-the-point, useful, and helpful! Thank you, FRC & Rian!
Most welcome.
Speaking as a Psychiatrist this is indispensable information. Personally, I've been able to find "flow" naturally at will even as a child, but I also was considered very strange for those same abilities, because I do actively block out the extraneous noises from the outside world. People use to think I was being rude, obnoxious, or arrogant when I'm writing and letting it loose by allowing myself to find this state of mind. The old saying "just go with the flow" is a phrase I often use, because for myself that metaphor sums-up the experience as a whole; however, distraction is definitely the enemy of "flow" and your smartphone is a major contributor. I don't own one just because of this reason. The only advice I may offer anybody is that "flow" is an effortless state of mind, which people often confuse for deep concentration, which it isn't, because it's simply a state of being content within oneness.
In my mind "flow" simply allows for the location of the simplest answers, which often make for the best conclusions. We all have these moments when we instinctively know the answer to a question, but if someone asks how you arrived at the right conclusion, but you can't explain it, because it's just there and correct.
I'd describe the neurotransmitters involved; however, I know that's above most people's comprehension. I enjoyed watching this video, so continue the good work gentlemen.
I been in the flow before it’s like a hyperfocus kind of feeling where you feel a sense of control, confidence and that everyone is in the palm of your hand. It’s very rare and doesn’t last long.
@@2mb816 If a person learns "flow" and uses it often enough, you may sustain the effort for long and longer periods of time. It really isn't as rare as most people think --- I believe it's been called "self-discipline" by most people, but "flow" is the same thing. I've always personally called this state of mind "flow". When I'm working, I tune out everyone and time as well, to the point that I'll forget to eat and continue working long into the night until 2 AM. It can become an addiction after a while, which other's may often may find you aloof or not paying attention to them. I can look right at people while they're speaking to me, but my mind is elsewhere solving problems, but I'm lucky to have a wife that's aware when I do this and she'll often cover for me --- While I need to quickly find a pen and paper to write out my conclusions and solutions, before I forget it.
Rian explains how to find and maintain "flow", which is the key to not only productivity, as well as success. I don't know what his methodology involves for reaching his hyperfocus steps, but I believe it's the next step in human evolution. If anyone master's how to get into "flow", then you'll accomplish a days work, well within a couple hours. Afterward the rest of the day is free, if you work for yourself.
When I attended UCLA, I use to do exactly what Rian explained about waking up and complete my homework and/or projects --- Especially, my math classes.
Hello. Please explain the neurotransmitters involved? That sounds awfully interesting.
I've felt flow once. I train for America Ninja Warrior, and it was during training. I normally come in last or 2nd to last with my training group, and I came in first that day. It felt magical. The world was quiet, it was just me and the course around me. I've been fighting to get that feeling back since. Really hoping this video helps
Edit 1: I deleted everything on my phone 2 or 3 weeks ago. I wake up at 5~ every day now, and the first day I got straight to work like 2 minutes after waking up, I worked until the sun came up in complete peace. Removing the phone does work.
any more improvements?
Update?
Yo ninja warrior? Where you at in the videos ima check you out
I made these notes for myself, I am putting them here so maybe they can help someone else:
1. do not check out the phone before you do something in the flow state. do not use the phone as an alarm clock; sleep at the same time every night, so you're going to wake up at the same time every morning.
2. you should keep the morning routine the shortest you can (like making the bed, brushing your teeth, going to wc), you can put a bottle of water on the table at night for tomorrow. and after waking up you should start studying the most important topic as soon as possible without any distraction or desire. if you have any thoughts that distract you, just note them to think later. you can also make plans and organize the materials from the night before.
Did it help?
@@satvikkapoor23859 i noticed i concentrate better in the library so after waking up, i just eat my breakfast and leave house to study at the library
That example at 7:14 spoke to me on so many levels and brought clarity about the whole topic. Awesome video.
This video literally push me to start working rather than thinking.... I'm so grateful for watching you thank you brother ❤
Happy to hear that!
Wow. This is a huge level up to how I think about flow and productivity. Makes me want to double down on recovery. I notice that when I know that I get to recovery at the end of the day, I become all the more compelled to push myself into flow.
Good stuff, Rian!
Thank you.
@@riandorisevery time I run,I’ll push myself to run more rounds and randomly I’ll just not be able to hear or anything and just feel like I’m in a dream
Wow - INVALUABLE! I was expecting to be disappointed by a sales pitch, but you delivered! 💯
I would add that when you are first learning a hard concept, like college level math or science or anything that requires sustained effort, you can’t expect to go into flow. Flow is for things that you already know how to do. I’m putting this out there in case somebody is wondering why they can’t flow, and whether they’re doing something wrong. When you’re doing something very hard, sometimes you can’t flow, and it’s ok.
This is a great addition to what I learned about Flow! I just recently read about this one from a book titled Ikigai by Héctor García and Francesc Miralles. One thing that they mentioned is that the Japanese are renowned for their perseverance and absorption in their tasks and being thorough with it in detail. This explains why their artisans are highly regarded because of their lifetime dedication to their craft, which directly relates to the benefit of flow for personal and to others.
As a gamer I can attest to these things especially the balance between the challenge itself and the skill involved. If a game is just a bit harder it makes you focus.
ikr but the only bad thing about this is games are addicting and gviing you a dompamine crash
Hi man, thanks for this video. youre doing such a good work here. i can see the future of this channel is very bright. this is very benificial for people, especially me. thanks man you made my day 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Can't be more excited for this! Game changing. content if applied consistently.
If people only knew, slowed down/dissolved time enough to notice the difference in quality of "effort" or effortless effort, they wouldn't ever want to return to average baseline.
Combining it with a state of gratitude and appreciation for being able to do the task at hand is a powerful enhancer for me personally. As opposed to the self created "friction" that arises from "resistance".
Energy efficiency is a precursor as well as professional recovery, as opposed to the" I'll sleep later and 24/7/366 always on" narrative.
God Speed FRC!

So when Ali said - Float like a Butterfly, Sting like a Bee.... he meant Flow.... because when Ali is in that type of mood, he is flowing and just gliding around that ring..also whilst outboxing you and make it seem effortless..... he was in that flow state... Dammmmmmnnnnnn 💯🙌🏾🔥
i have no words for this video. To anyone who has truly struggled with working and accomplishment and experienced both the struggle state and the flow state, this video transforms their vague idea into concrete and practical steps giving them a clear pathway towards achieving the frictionless, lucid and elusive state of mind. Even though the whole video has very important info for me the main barrier was task persistence and sustained attention. the analogy about training a muscle is very apt as the harder u train ur muscle (without going into total failure comparable to the 4% difficulty increase rule) the higher the baseline capacity of the muscle increases (ie: the muscle/nerves becomes stronger, faster and more accurate). important thing to note is to not go into failure or ramp up the difficulty too high. In the case of the mind and focus its like stretching a spring if u stretch a spring for long enough it doesnt compress back to its original shape, same with flow state in the mind, if sufficient mental pressure/effort is sustained for the required time then after the effort is relaxed the mind doesnt go back to its original state and the flow becomes the baseline. This was my understanding of this state through my own personal context hope it helped someone in understanding this better. Really grateful for this video brother.
this is the most redditor discord mod shitlord degen thing i have ever seen
Thank you for watching!
I like the exercise of reading a book all the way through, I'm going to definitely do that one!
I understand what you said at 5:11 I have experienced it unconsciously when I used to complete my homework as soon as I woke in the morning, I was focused more than ever in completing my task.
Great breakdown of flow. I'm excited to see more high-quality content from Rian and the Flow Research Collective.
Their stuff is amazing! It completely changed my productivity and gave me the freedom that I was looking for.
Thank you for watching!
Like other comments have already said. Dont confuse forced focus with flow. Flow is natural. Like when you are studying a subject or doing something like runnin, singin, rappin, swimmin. Im 18. I have done changes in my habits to start flowing with my actions and my spirit and the stuff I wanna achieve, and when you start doing the things right. It starts to be effortless. There is when FLOW STARTS
It is in the absense of the little self that our True essense begins to Flow.... We have only to get out of the way, Let go, and Flow happens all by Itself... Trying to Force flow or actively seek it, is the very thing that blocks Its Happenning...By doing so we solidify more so the blockage to its occuring...Flow is like Grace.. you cant will either, but you can come to the point of being better able to Recieve IT by understanding How we have been blocking it.
Banger! More money, less work = more time for fulfilment. The understanding of flow is an absolute game changer. LFG 🚀
Thank you for watching!
i remember being on the gym and being so distracted while being push-ups, that a couple minutes doing constant push-ups felt like a single blink. I've never managed to replicate this again.
flow is one hell of a mental state. I dont even know if I will ever be able to achieve it ever again.
I experienced flow so many times while playing football/soccer, never knew that I was in flow state, the world didn't matter to me, i didn't hear any noises. That's how focused you get when you are in flow, now i know.
Bro thinks he isagi
God,people are getting flow over extremely productive and useful stuff while im going into flow as i play Sekiro. 😭😭
This helped me so much! it was immideate. I was rocrastinating so i wont do my work, and after I put away all distractions and tried to get in the flow... It worked! I did what once took me almost all day in just a span of 2 hours or so, very helpful!
One of the best video on flow I have ever watched. The relevant examples you given in the video again motivate me to do the things. Thanks alot for this video!
I appreciate your support and viewership!
Why aren't you trying to sell me a course ?
Great video! The information presented in the video is enough to make the first steps into flow.
I came up with an acronym to remember the steps:
1. Forsake interruptions
2. Leap into action before distraction
3. Otimize environment for triggers
4. Wield the whole cycle
Nice!!!! Thank you!!!
Optimize
Very helpful!!
I appreciate your support and viewership!

Love your videos Rian. Informative and a lot of ideas I haven’t heard before. I also enjoy how you move your head and body, you have attention catching mannnerisms!
To enter the Zone "Flow State", one must have the passion/ love for what they're doing. Second requirement is that the person has to have talent on top of that passion that he has to what they're doing. Third is that everyone has different "triggers", and that you can never force yourself to the zone without going through the trigger.
-Aomine Daiki (Kuruko no Basuke)
Sometimes passion isn't even a requirement. Something can be effortless to you and even liking it a little could help.
For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. You see, we all have sinned, and have broken God’s law (The Ten Commandments). Wrong doing deserves justice and must be punished (just like how a criminal has to pay for the crime they have committed) but God saved us from the eternal punishment of our sins by sending His Son Jesus Christ, fullness of God in flesh, to pay the penalty for us by dying on the cross and resurrecting, so that we may have everlasting life.

By faith you will receive the Holy Spirit, become born again and He will transform your heart and clean you from the inside out. Turn away from sin, read the Bible, pray for the Holy Spirit to fill you and change you, obey the Word. Much love and God bless you!
@@jesusisking3814Amen❤️🙏🏾
You don't need to "have the passion". You need to tell your brain that you'll do this because you like doing it and will be proud of yourself when standing atop.
@@djphantom8800 I didn't mean it literally, but it's just one of the statements from my reference. Also, if you're a high level athlete, you'd understand what I meant.
Superb video! Excellent summary. Thank you.
FLOW is the holy grail.
_Each morning I recite this to remain vigilant against the enemies of FLOW_
*Anxiety* is an enemy of FLOW.
*Boredom* is an enemy of FLOW.
*Self-consciousness* is an enemy of FLOW.
*Self-centeredness* is an enemy of FLOW.
*Distraction* is an enemy of FLOW.
And at some point, *thought* is an enemy of FLOW.
I would actually say boredom helps to get into flow. Boredom drives us to do work that is meaningful. So if you're bored you won't get into flow, but you'll feel motivated to search out flow.
@@franciscoferraz6788 Quite true in my experience! Whenever I find it hard to get into flow it is often because I am not letting myself be bored. Instead, I am seeking out constant gratification by scrolling on social media, for example.
Maybe you're saying that bc the subconscious gets blocked by the conscious?
Thanks for sharing!
as a blue locker, this really helped, ty for helping me activate my flow faster so i can more easily devour my opponents
WOW - I just clocked that I go into flow state without knowing it. It's feels surreal that I'm hearing this.
Incredibly valuable video. Will be rewatching this one.
Thank you for watching!
This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my UA-cam channel 8 months ago about self development. Now I have 773 subs and > 300 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I could haven’t learned without getting started in the 1st place.
Thank you so much Mr. Rian with this knowledge and everyone in the comments. It felt like a great positive community that helps each other to reach our own goals!❤💪
You are very welcome
Best moments for me
1:11 flow definition
3:42 we are evolutionarily wired for flow
5:20 wow = when you wake up, get to work within 90 seconds on your most important task.
Wow. I have never ever heard of this. This sounds like a weird workaholic thing to do. you now can relax throughout your day
6:36 who did what. MC did psychological research. Steven Kotler did neurobiological research.
7:53 engage in tasks that are a tiny bit harder than your current skills level.
8:20 Herbert Benson. Breakout principle. 8:52 people do not persist long enough hence they do not enter flow
9:14 attention span stretching = new idea for me. Add another minute. The power of 1 more.
Send that 1 more email. If I plan to read 1 chapter, now I train myself to read 2.
10:40 this leads to elite productivity, extreme accomplishment and hyper focus
Thank you Rian for this video !
Thank you for watching!
Ok
After 7:53 he mentions a book, can you say what is it, i cant understand his accent, subtitles isn't helping either

Is it right ?
ive been wondering why i was only able to focus at school, but not at home, and this taught me alot
This flow state is intriguing, it sounds like concentration but much more effortless
Rian looks like straight out of the the movie "Limitless" wait a minute 🤔
The way content is organised is Epic felt like Watching a High Budget Hollywood Movie.
The way images , fonts, animations pop-up Hits all the areas in my Brain.
Thank you for watching!
Man, your speaking skills and the way you’re able to explain the principles, coupled with the quality of video production - this channel is due for some crazy growth. Very actionable principles, thank you. What would be an example of immediate feedback in knowledge work?
this is just my personal experience, but if you make a mindmap or infographic of something, in my case, it was my very thought processes to look into my roots of chronic procrastination back then when i started. im using a digital one as i find editing or fixing something is almost inevitable for making something good for yourself
i use mindjet manager usually
1. mindmap is a more intuitive note rather than plain paragraphs and points going down, you can give it direction to imply something,
just keep adding points for starters, you can visually see whether you actually understand it so you can make a summary, make a lot of paragraphs into a few simpler sentences or you are only trying to memorize a lot of points but you dont feel the connection between points
then edit them a bit
it is still in the same point but it explains more of it, move it so it is leaning down in the mindmap,
the topic is going further, deeper into the bigger picture but not deeper of a specific part, move it so it leans to the right
what you are thinking is going too wide or straying, it leans up,
you noticed there are loops on some part, either an error on my thinking or the content of what im learning, here is time to draw an arrow connecting that part with an earlier part then put some explanation on the arrow
2. some surprisingly find this easier to navigate and skim than a long note. it is harder to make obviously but a note that doesnt serve you well isnt really a good note even tho it might be neat
3. easier to use when teaching others (compared to showing a long as document/book of full text) for most people and to reread in case u forgot it once done
4. as it is visually easier to comprehend, the brain (RAM for humans) is less tasked to remember things when you are trying to find/learn something new therefore has more room to review, think, deduce, etc. very few people has really good memory, big and complex thinking capacity, and fast and high intelligence to draw the lines between points without a note and still remember them over a long time
I started to watch with extreme scepticism but I can identify with a lot you're saying.
Self-employed, I used to be able to focus on software development tasks with no trouble at all for many hours.
Nowadays it is a fight to get in the zone and an absolute mission to stay in it.
I am good at finding reasons to blame the struggle on.
Not sure how this fits with how it often helps to walk away from the task when I get stuck and relaxing (like going for a walk) allows my mind to generate a list of steps I can take to solve the problem once I get back.
Love to hear how that fits in flow.
This was literally an eye-opener. Thank you!🙏
You are welcome.
Disclaimer: Haven't watched, heard, or read, almost anything on flow, got interested recently
I've always thought of the the flow state like, for example, breathing.
We inhale and exhale air constantly, but once be become conscious of it, we start to do it "manually" and exit that flow state in a sense.
We have to be automatically responsive with the activity we are doing right now in a way.
I hope I summarized it decently!
disclaimer; didnt read your comment, but you are wrong and right derp
thank you for this info. I have a hard time getting into flow. I always get stuck and just get paralyzed and do nothing instead. I recently started running and it helps me so much to get out of my head and get focused. Im planning on using it as a tool to increase my attention span. And I hope it will trickle down into other aspects of my life. I'm just getting started but im happy im on my way. As long as I don´t give up I can't fail. Everyone keep focused and I hope you have a blessed life. You've got this :)
Thank you for watching!
yo bro your killing it with these. thanks
I’ve experienced flow in things like school when I’m literally just writing. One time when I was in ELA I was supposed to work on a 5 paragraph essay and for the first 10-20 minutes I was thinking what to do and 8 was getting super anxious then out of nowhere it clicked and then for the ready of class I finished an assignment on a subject I didn’t know much on an I got an A- in the class. It was insane because my fingers wouldn’t stop moving the ideas kept coming it was amazing
Hi Rian, I was just wondering where the statistic involving engaging in a task 4% more difficult than your current skill level came from (e.g. paper, source, etc).
me after reading blue lock
Great! Same methods I use! 😊 You also can have planned distractions like water plants for 5 minutes, smoke for 5 minutes, cook and eat for 30 minutes. The one and only condition is DO NOT CHECK THE PHONE.
This is amazing brother! Thank you for a great piece of the puzzle. You have put it in perspective.
My pleasure!
Wow, super powerful video!
Can I ask who's the editor?, I'd like to see more examples of his work because I want to improve my editing skills
Thanks!
Have you found him? I want to learn how to edit like this too!
Thank you for watching!
DE-VICES May help. BIKING seems to give me some flow. The BIKE, itself seems to help.

nah adderall got me
Flow is actually something brilliant I had it often but one of the most memorable times was when I was playing in a volleyball tournament nearly the entire game I was just getting everything easily blocking spikes spiking myself and so on it was just really good and hopefully with this video I can access this state more often 😊
5:32 I noticed this after changing from working later shifts to morning shifts and it feels so much better getting it out of the way and having the rest of the day to myself
ok, now we need to learn to get white hair and aura
step 1: don't have adhd
😂😂
We have a boon to get into the flow state if the task is interesting enough for us (THE ALMIGHTY HYPER FOCUS)
Idk bro I have ADHD I think you have a skill issue💀❤
Thank you for that, that is what I need while I already got consistency and a bunch of other self improvement things
Most welcome.
The only times I really remember going into a flow state was when I was playing a video game and I was doing everything perfectly and my brain wasn't making a mistake. and the other was when I was playing a sport I love. The state is amazing and if I can figure how to master this it will be great.
Almost everyone, including the media, is anticipating a market catastrophe, and as a result, many are turning a blind eye to the opportunities in the market. I recently began investing in stocks and cryptocurrency, and it was the best choice I've ever made. If you genuinely want to be financially secure, disregard everything the media is suggesting. The market offers a lot of chances. Maximize your use of it
@@Theofanis_LantzakisYou can make a lot of money from the market regardless of what occurs, whether it strengthens or crashes. The key is to be well positioned, and that's what matters most
@@Theofanis_LantzakisAll you need is a good capital and the service of a professional broker, with those you're guaranteed of making profit.
@@Theofanis_LantzakisI would suggest Doris Janette Maule, my current broker. Her services are excellent and her returns are great. I looked up her up after seeing her on a CNBC market interview, she has been a blessing to me.
