According to Jack Dorsey, the concept of 'flow state' contributes to productivity by maximizing the efficiency of task completion. He suggests mapping out the week around routines, with each day dedicated to a different task. This approach allows for tasks to be categorized and grouped into sub-tasks, minimizing interruptions and maintaining a steady 'flow state'. This method is believed to enhance focus and productivity.
Question was asked on:
Here's some advice from two very productive dudes: Jack Dorsey of Twitter and Elon Musk, who both ran multiple companies for years. Dorsey maps out his week around routines, with each day dedicated to a different task. Even if you have multiple tasks that need to be accomplished, this maximizes the flow state so that tasks are categorized and grouped into sub-tasks and not interrupted. Elon Musk famously avoids meetings and suggests walking out if they aren't valuable. That doesn't mean he doesn't believe in communication: he says people work best when they know what the goal is and why.

Why is it so hard to form new habits and break bad ones? We read Atomic Habits by James Clear, which explores the psychology behind habit formation and the mechanisms that create habits. This book summary includes frameworks to help you (1) make decisions, (2) form habits, (3) simple habit hacks, and (4) how the UK biking team excelled with these techniques, and many more. James Clear posits that the reason is that most people fail to understand what really makes a habit stick. Atomic Habits gives practical advice for how the mechanisms to form habits can be leveraged and manipulated for a person to stick to the habits they want to keep and avoid the ones they want to abandon.
