If anybody has any good tips for getting in the zone, I'm all ears. Meanwhile, my advice would be: learn how to be as effective as possible when you're not in the zone. "Flow" feels magical, and it's easy to get addicted to that feeling. Unfortunately, that sometimes means that people lose sight of the fact that what we do is work, and it's not always going to be fun. If you're relying on the buzz of being in the zone to motivate you, you're setting yourself up for failure (if the "flow" fails to materialize.) My advice: start where you are. It's a truism that the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, but what people often forget is: it's all single steps. So, even if you're not in the zone, take the next step. And the next.
