In my experience, it’s one of the keys to happiness at work, and a nice side benefit is that it not only reduces stress but increases your productivity. Not bad, huh?

When I wrote about the Magical Power of Focus, I promised to write more about how to achieve Flow, a concept that is very much in vogue right now and something most of us have experienced at one time or another.

Today we’ll take a look at what Flow is, why it’s important, and how to achieve it on a regular basis for increased productivity and happiness at work.

What is Flow?

Put simply, it’s a state of mind you achieve when you’re fully immersed in a task, forgetting about the outside world. It’s a concept proposed by positive psychologist Mihály Csíkszentmihályi, and these days you’re likely to read about it on blogs and in all kinds of magazines.

When you’re in the state of Flow, you:

• are completely focused on the task at hand;
• forget about yourself, about others, about the world around you;
• lose track of time;
• feel happy and in control; and
• become creative and productive.

One thing I love about Flow is that it takes the very Zen concept of being completely in the moment, and applies it to work tasks. It’s a concept I’ve talked a lot about here on Zen Habits — being in the moment, focusing completely on a single task, and finding a sense of calm and happiness in your work. Flow is exactly that.

Why is Flow Important?

I believe the ability to single-task (as opposed to multi-task) is one of the keys to true productivity. Not the kind of productivity where you knock off 20 items from your to-do list (although that can be satisfying), where you’re switching between tasks all day long and keep busy all the time.

The true productivity I mean is the kind where you actually achieve your goals, where you accomplish important and long-lasting things. As a writer, that might mean writing one or two important and memorable articles rather than 20 or 50 unimportant ones that people will forget 5 minutes after reading them. It means getting key projects done rather than answering a bunch of emails, making a lot of phone calls, attending a bunch of meetings, and shuffling paperwork all day long. It means closing key deals. It means quality instead of quantity.

And once you’ve learned to focus on those kinds of important projects and tasks, Flow is how you get them done. You lose yourself in those important and challenging tasks, and instead of being constantly interrupted by minor things (calls, emails, IMs, coworkers, etc.), you are able to focus on the tasks long enough to actually complete them.

And by losing yourself in them, you enjoy yourself more. You reduce stress while increasing quality output. You get important stuff done instead of just getting things done. You achieve things rather than just keeping busy.

Flow is one of the keys to all of that.

How to Achieve Flow and Happiness in Your Work

So how do you achieve this mystical state of being? Do you need to meditate or chant anything? No, you don’t (although meditation can improve your ability to concentrate). And Flow is anything but mystical — it’s very practical, and achieving it isn’t mysterious.

It can take practice, but you’ll get better at it. Here are the key steps to achieving and benefiting from Flow:

1. Choose work you love. If you dread a task, you’ll have a hard time losing yourself in it. If your job is made up of stuff you hate, you might want to consider finding another job. Or consider seeking projects you love to do within your current job. At any rate, be sure that whatever task you choose is something you can be passionate about.
2. Choose an important task. There’s work you love that’s easy and unimportant, and then there’s work you love that will make a long-term impact on your career and life. Choose the latter, as it will be a much better use of your time, and of Flow.
3. Make sure it’s challenging, but not too hard. If a task is too easy, you will be able to complete it without much thought or effort. A task should be challenging enough to require your full concentration. However, if it is too hard, you will find it difficult to lose yourself in it, as you will spend most of your concentration just trying to figure out how to do it — either that, or you’ll end up discouraged. It may take some trial and error to find tasks of the appropriate level of difficulty.
4. Find your quiet, peak time. This is actually two steps grouped into one. First, you’ll want to find a time that’s quiet, or you’ll never be able to focus. For me, that’s mornings, before the hustle of everyday life builds to a dull roar. That might be early morning, when you just wake, or early in the work day, when most people haven’t arrived yet or are still getting their coffee and settling down. Or you might try the lunch hour, when people are usually out of the office. Evenings work well too for many people. Or, if you’re lucky, you can do it at any time of the day if you can find a quiet spot to work in. Whatever time you choose, it should also be a peak energy time for you. Some people get tired after lunch — that’s not a good time to go for Flow. Find a time when you have lots of energy and can concentrate.
5. Clear away distractions. Aside from finding a quiet time and place to work, you’ll want to clear away all other distractions. That means turning off distracting music (unless you find music that helps you focus), turning off phones, email and IM notifications, Twitter and Growl, and anything else that might pop up or make noise to interrupt your thoughts. I also find it helpful to clear my desk, even if that means sweeping miscellaneous papers into a folder to be sorted through later. Of course, these days there isn’t anything on my desk, but I didn’t always work like this. A clear desk helps immensely.
6. Learn to focus on that task for as long as possible. This takes practice. You need to start on your chosen task and keep your focus on it for as long as you can. At first, many people will have difficulty, if they’re used to constantly switching between tasks. But keep trying, and keep bringing your focus back to your task. You’ll get better. And if you can keep your focus on that task, with no distractions, and if your task has been chosen well (something you love, something important, and something challenging), you should lose yourself in Flow.
7. Enjoy yourself. Losing yourself in Flow is an amazing thing, in my experience. It feels great to be able to really pour yourself into something worthwhile, to make great progress on a project or important task, to do something you’re passionate about. Take the time to appreciate this feeling (perhaps after the fact — it’s hard to appreciate it while you’re in Flow).
8. Keep practicing. Again, this takes practice. Each step will take some practice, from finding a quiet, peak time for yourself, to clearing distractions, to choosing the right task. And especially keeping your focus on a task for a long time. But each time you fail, try to learn from it. Each time you succeed, you should also learn from it — what did you do right? And the more you practice, the better you’ll get.
9. Reap the rewards. Aside from the pleasure of getting into Flow, you’ll also be happier with your work overall. You’ll get important stuff done. You’ll complete stuff more often, rather than starting and stopping frequently. All of this is hugely satisfying and rewarding. Take the time to appreciate this, and to continue to practice it every day.

Whatever your age, it is natural to feel as though you may live forever and also to believe that you will likely have plenty of time in the future to preserve your C’elle menstrual stem cells. So what’s the rush? Why take measures to subscribe to this progressive and cutting edge service today? With the passing of each month our body ages and this aging process will inevitably impact the quality and quantity of stem cells produced over time. C’elle menstrual stem cells may provide you and possibly even your loved ones with a potentially invaluable resource for healthcare and wellness therapies in the future. The landmark discovery of C’elle menstrual stem cells is seismic in many ways because this is the first time that highly prolific and multipotent (able to differentiate into other cell types) adult stem cells have been harvested in such a painless, non-invasive and affordable manner as compared to other stem cell sources such as bone marrow, fat or adult peripheral blood that already have established histories of success in adult stem transplants.

Polk’s breakthrough I-Sonic acoustic system creates a stereo soundstage throughout your entire room. Here’s how it works. They start with four specially-designed full range speakers, two on the front and two on the back of the sleek I-Sonic Entertainment System console. Through the magic of Digital Signal Processing, Polk engineers create full stereo all the way around the system. And for lows so deep they will astound you, They include Polk’s patented PowerPort® bass technology.

Polk’s engineering breakthrough changes the rules for small system performance. Conventional table-top systems “beam” the sound straight towards the listener, even those with two speakers. At best, these designs can create a stereo soundfield for someone seated directly facing the unit. It’s not at all satisfying for any other listeners in the room.

Ever wished you could get the same quality of sound from your radio as you do from your CD? Or that your radio signal didn’t fade out just when you wanted to listen to the game? Now you can. Get the kind of sound that was previously reserved for your HDTV, CD system or MP3 player. Get a high definition radio on your radio. And get it for free!

* CD-quality sound
* Crystal-clear reception
* No station drop-off
* No static, hiss or audio distortion

NOTE: Webcasts such as this one utilize a compressed electronic file and should not be considered a true replica of the superior sound quality you get with HD Radio. Here you can find new radio stations.

With an Polk Audio I-sonic ES2 enabled HD Radio™ receiver you can. When you hear a song you like on your local FM HD Radio station, you simply hit the “tag” button. The song’s info will be saved from your HD Radio receiver to your iPod®. The songs will show up in a playlist called “Tagged” in iTunes the next time you sync your iPod to your computer. So you can click, download and buy the songs you want directly from the Apple® iTunes Music Store, or find new country music stations and Florida High Definition Radio stations.

With a brand new HD Radio receiver, you will be able to tag songs while you listen to your favorite music in pure crystal-clear digital sound. And if that isn’t enough, many HD Radio stations now are broadcasting additional digital channels called HD2 and HD3, all subscription-free.

Basically, digital radio works the same as conventional radio. There’s a signal on one end and a receiver on the other. But there are a few key differences.

[1] Instead of sending out one analog signal, stations send out a bundled signal – both analog and digital. Because it is digital, textual data such as traffic, stock info and song titles can be sent out, as well.

[2] The digital signal layer is compressed.

[3] The combined analog and digital signals are transmitted.

[4] Inevitably, radio signals bounce off objects, causing what is called multipath distortions. This is what causes the static in conventional radio receivers. HD Digital radio receivers are designed to sort through reflected signals, reducing static, hiss, pops and fades.

[5] Finally, the signals reach their destination. Both broadcasts are free, with no subscription fee. To hear the digital broadcast, all you need is an HD Radio receiver.

Until now, menstrual blood has typically been discarded as unsanitary waste. However, exciting new research shows that menstrual fluid contains self-renewing stem cells that can be easily collected, processed and cryo-preserved for potential cellular therapies that may emerge in the future. The C’elle menstrual stem cell comes from the uterine lining (endometrium) that is shed as part of a woman’s menstrual period. These menstrual stem cells are unique because they have many properties and characteristics similar to both bone marrow and embryonic stem cells; they multiply rapidly and can differentiate into many other types of stem cells such as neural, cardiac, bone, fat, cartilage and possibly others; demonstrating great promise for future use in clinical regenerative medical therapies. Preliminary research suggests that in addition to potential use by the donor, these stem cells may possibly be used as well to benefit other family members who are genetically related to the donor, such as perhaps a parent, sibling or child.

Educate women about amazing new stem cell service, C’elle, harvested from menstrual fluid. The C’elle stem cell in non-controversial; highly proliferative; and can transform into many other cell types. C’elle is a Cryo-Cell technology which empowers women to safely and easily collect potentially life-saving stem cells found in menstrual blood. C’elle menstrual stem cells have demonstrated the ability to differentiate into other cell types such as heart muscle, cartilage, nerve and bone stem cells. This translates into the potential for therapeutic development to treat major diseases like MS, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s; and possibly cosmeceutical applications like anti-aging and wound-healing. C’elle menstrual stem cells are a 100% match for the woman donor and a possible match for a first degree relative (i.e. parent; sibling; child). For a limited-time only, you can order C’elle online for only $499 and receive a super-chic C’elle travel satchel. Go to www.Celle.com and order the service now with the click of a mouse…an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!

Actually, yes. Delicious, healthy and versatile, avocados are one of those foods that we let slip under our radar as we walk through the produce section; but we shouldn’t. So next time you see the alligator pair next to a bushel of apples and are opting for the latter, consider these 5 reasons you should be eating avocados:

1. They travel well. You probably think this doesn’t matter since you weren’t planning on hauling them with you on vacation. But I’ve written before about the shenanigans produce shippers go through that makes food tough enough to truck. Unfortunately these processes make the food taste that way too.Luckily avocados need no enhancement. They don’t start to ripen until they are picked, so the grower doesn’t have to do anything weird to spread his season out. They are also hard as a rock for a good 5 days after being picked so they can be shipped from California to anywhere in America without being harmed.
2. They’re a good fat. I can’t believe people are still confused by this, yet they are. They hear that avocados are full of fat and they assume that must be bad. Avocados do have fat, but they have no cholesterol and the majority of the fat is polyunsaturated. That’s good for you, similar to olive oil.Think of it like Kim Kardashian, fat in the right places is awesome.
3. They’re nutritionally dense. Even with the calories that come with fat, avocados have a high calorie/nutrient ratio. They are very high in fiber, they have more potassium than a banana and avocados are rich in vitamins B, E and K.
4. They’re a green fruit (not just literally). Avocados are one of the most environmentally friendly bits of produce you can buy. The California avocado growers practice IPM which makes avocados some of the lowest pesticide fruits out there. One avocado tree sucks up the CO2 caused by a car driving over 2,600 miles over the course of a year.
5. Avocados are a great replacement food. They can be substituted for a whole host of other, less healthy alternatives. You can use them like a cheese spread on crackers (particularly if you make guacamole), you can spread them like butter on a bagel and you can use a few slices to replace mayo on a sandwich.

There you go, 5 solid reasons you should be eating avocados. And just for you a little bonus tip to get you started:
Bonus Tips:

• Typically you open an avocado by cutting it in half and twisting. This leaves the pit in the center which is just slippery enough to be nearly impossible to dislodge. Lay the avocado on the table and stab the tip of your knife into the pit. Twist and it should come right out.
• When choosing an avocado, choose one that is soft but not soft enough that your finger leaves a dimple when you apply pressure. A rock hard avocado is not yet ripe so if you choose that one, don’t plan to eat it that day.
• Sure, we all know about Guacamole but there are dozens of other recipes that include avocado.
