Choose a difficult task:
We want to see challenges through to the end because we enjoy the feeling of pusing ourselves.Bertrand Russell expressed a similar idea when he said,
''To be able to concentrate for a considerable amount of time is essential to difficult achievement''.
Have a clear ,concrete objective:
Having a clear objective is important in achieving flow, but we also have to know how to leave it behing when we get down to business. Once the journey begun, we should keep this objective in mind without obsessing over it .
Albert Einstein said that;
''A happy man is too satisfied with the present to dwell on the future.''
