Same start - like everyday, and no flow in going throught those morning routines. Big Frank wonders if getting up and getting going could, in some way, every put one into FLOW. Perhaps there is a different approach.
First stop today was the county jail. No flow there. Just visiting someone and trying to help him figure out what to do to get his plan going to get out. Big Frank thinks there's little flow in places like that.
However, this posting is rather more about times when flow occurs. So here they are:
1. Planning a trip to Southeast Asia, making plane reservation that will take Big Frank all the way around the world, picking out hotels in Ho Chi Minh City, Bangkok, and Delhi. Time melts away in the details and decisions and double checking with travel agents. Categorize as PLANNING/TRAVEL.
2. Eating sushi. Big Frank went out after work with The Foodies - a meetup group that eats at various restaurants and does potlucks. It's all about food - well, and conversation while eating also. Eating is not an especially challenging activity - actually pretty much anybody can do it, and it requires practically no skill whatsoever. Maybe not real high flow, but eating good food (sushi and sashimi is about as good as it gets) does induce flow. Categorize as EATING/SOCIALIZING.
3. Drinking wine. Big Frank went out for a couple of drinks with his blogging buddy, Magne, after the sashimi dinner. It's much like eating - drinking wine and talking with someone with whom the conversation is good - you're in the flow when you do that. Categorize as DRINKING/SOCIALIZING.
