Flow is the Opiate of the Mediocore
- waqf 15y agoI don't think that what is being condemned here is flow. When I used to practice the piano several hours a day I was in flow, but I wasn't running through my pieces. Flow was what made me able to play through the same measure thirty times in succession, stop and think about what I needed to do differently, then play it through thirty more times, without losing my concentration.
- Todd 15y agoThis article is focused on practice and growth. There's a distinction between the work required for improvement and the state required for productivity. To me, flow is more about productivity.
- Dylan16807 15y agoPlaying through is not difficult enough to be flow. The article has valid advice but it's nothing new and the title is wrong. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f6/Challenge_vs_skill.svg http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f6/Challenge...
