Hey there I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed reading your blog but it’s taking a while to load up for me. I don’t have a slow internet connection either, so I think it may be your site? Or maybe there is just a lot of people trying to load up right now, either way I advise you look into it and also, keep up the nice blog posts.

Great post! The right music gets me in “the flow” when my workday starts. Stopping at the end of the workday is a lot harder for me, since the feeling of being productive (like a trance) is so good. The part about writing notes under a part that isn’t finished is a great idea!

Good article. I am struggling with the same issues. Interference is not good for me. I getting out of a state of flow or I am not getting in to it. Interference can be so much. Unfortunately I do not have my own office. We are 5-6 persons sitting in the same small room all the time. Two colleagues conversation, or one colleague talking to me, mails poping up, instant messages, my phone, what ever will take me out of my state of flow.

Neal Ford the author of The Productive Programmer handles this in his book and talks about this. I have the book and have attended to his talk. He recommend using headphones with or without music, what suites you best. This will probably tell the human interferers that you are occupied. Or pretend you are on the phone In the chapter Focus he recommends turning off all things that distracts you, balloon tips, growl, instant messenger, mail, and such. Also create quiet time. I.e. 9-11 AM, 3-5 PM.

For me all context switching between tasks and systems/projects with an manager or other consecuenses forcing me to re prioritate is something of the worst.

Anyway good luck with finding the state of flow (and keeping it for some time)

Love the description – so spot on.
I would add however that sometimes when a problem seems to difficult to resolve or if you have been working on a problem so much that you are too involved in it going round in circles trying to resolve it – you sometimes can not see the wood for the trees, and sleeping on it overnight will add a sense of clarity to the whole problem and either a new idea comes to mind as a better way to code it, or you wonder how and why you were going about things so convoluted when it was really quite easy. I find now that if a problem seems to trouble me, I will put it to bed for the rest of the day, but still have it in the back of my mind and sleep on it – the following day 9 times out of 10, it will be resolved in a better more effecient method that i have come up with.
