What does "flow" mean, and does it really improve productivity?

Alastair McDermott and Alistair McBride discuss flow state and deep work in episode 118 of The Recognized Authority.

They discuss practical tips for optimizing your morning routine and tackling high-value tasks for maximum impact.

Explore the cost of context switching and the importance of uninterrupted blocks of time for deep work. Gain valuable insights into the concept of "be-do-have," shifting from the mindset of “If I could just have (insert thing), I’d do more (work) and be a real (noun).”

They discuss productivity and performance, and how to make leaps of improvement rather than settling for incremental progress.

This episode will change how you think about deep work, your approach to tasks, and unlock your potential for success.

Alastair McDermott
Podcast Host & Marketing Consultant

I created the The Recognized Authority podcast to help independent consultants and experts to get more clients without being dependent on referrals.

I'm a former software engineer who has converted to "The Dark Side" becoming a business and marketing consultant. I built my first website on GeoCities in the before-time of 1996, and I've been hooked on websites ever since.

I left a safe corporate job in early 2007 to start and grow my digital marketing business during the worst recession in modern history - that was a wild ride!

Along the way I co-founded several start-ups, some of which were mildly successful, and I wrote a book called "Running a Website with WordPress: A Quick Guide for Business Owners".
