Reduce distractions is a good start. Close email windows, HN, put your phone on silent, find a space in which noise does not intrude, remove the clock. Lock out any external signal that might distract you. It might be noise, it might be discomfort in a mouse you're using. Then the second part is that you've got to enjoy what you do. The craft, the elegance of it. Take pride in wanting to do it well, refine that. Look for improvements and do it even better. Be excited by the improvements. This is the undefinable quality of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. With those two things; reducing distraction and find the beauty, elegance and satisfaction in the simple and mundane... I found it's possible to totally immerse yourself in whatever task is at hand. Just taking care of distractions isn't enough, you need the pursuit of quality too.
