Solitude vs. Flow
4 years ago
I find time alone very hard to come by, and yet it’s always been like oxygen to me. Lately it’s been occurring to me that, in solitude, I’m almost always in a state of “flow.” (Flow is when you’re so engaged in what you’re doing, you lose track of time.)
When I’m alone, I’m always deep in some creative project, deep in a flow-state. I wonder whether, if I could find flow with other people around me, it might give me the same restorative benefits I get from solidute.
I’ll explore this and report back . . . .
