Finding Happiness in Work: Utilising 'Flow' for Increased Productivity and Satisfaction

Dive into the unique methodology of tracking everyday activities and gauging the joy or dissatisfaction derived from each, a worthwhile tool for time management and augmenting daily contentment. You will discover the need to delegate tasks that hold you back and obstruct your ability to experience pleasure and achieve the flow state. The episode also provides valuable insights into societal structures that often result in unforeseen stress due to uneven task distribution, particularly within families and relationships.

Understand the importance of reevaluating roles in order to attain happiness and abolish actions that foster contempt. Get acquainted with the role of social approval, and how doing things out of obligation rather than choice, primarily to appease others or save face, can lead to loss of personal satisfaction and 'flow'.

The episode culminates with an invitation to the free Story Circle writing workshop, where participants can explore the power of writing about their lives and discovering personal narratives. The ultimate goal is to learn to consciously organize your life around activities and tasks that bring joy and keep you in the flow state. Don’t let your days be overthrown by activities that dampen your spirit. Choose to live in a state of constant flow and make the most of each day.
