Until I've gotten where I need to get to. I used to use this technique when I was an undergraduate to get through tough periods of the semester. Recently, I used it on my startup after I finished grad school. I had a goal of getting a beta out and pushed myself into this working mode. I then kept going until I released the beta. I tend to spend months in a zone where I'm able to concentrate and think about a project. During this time my social drive is down. Then I spend months in a zone where I just want to be around people and I can barely work. I think this technique is a way to throw myself into the working part of my brain at will. I won't claim to understand it. And I won't guarantee it will work for you. I just know all the plan things out stuff I was taught did me no good. This worked and so that is why I point it out here. I work out and eat well but any one who knows me will tell you that I am life balance FAIL.
