- catchclose8919 5y ago...lots (most?) of the actual work that needs to be do is "grinding" or "working against tons of hard/impossibly to remove friction": you'll never achieve any kind of flow doing this kind of work! So the productivity multiplier advice is this: learn to cope and be productive at doing the kinds of work where flow is impossible/unfeasible! (This way you'll not be already tired and behind when you get to the work for which "flow" is possible...)
- brianhorakh 5y agoYou can gamify anything. Gamify makes the toil of grinding fun. Flow happens during fun. Sometimes there are shortcuts to grinding that can only be discovered during "flow" (usually for me, it's to identify better tools)
