Writing does it for me like no other activity. If I had to describe how this works, I would say that when I initially sit down to write, I don't edit at all. Editing is a different function and works fine after flow. Thanks, Don.
TM (transcendental meditation) when practiced regularly, helps with flow. It’s different than mindfulness practice. But i do agree when you get to that state it’s bliss.
LIke Susie, writing does that for me - I can get lost for hours in the process of writing and then in the process of editing.
Only minutes for me. I'm more a sprinter than a marathon man.

Good to know!
Susie, I agree completely. The internal editor needs to be told when to butt out.
Similarly, the paradox that creativity is greatly enhanced by discipline.
Interesting that an unstructured state called “flow” is, in fact, achievable by predictable efforts.
