On flow: back when I started my blog (2004) I soon realized that nothing had ever turned on the "flow switch" as predictably as preparing and publishing posts: for 4-6 hours/day, 5-6 days/week, I was in heaven.
Reading the comments on vjk800's comment led me to focus on my state of mind today (I'll be 75 on June 8) as I work on my blog in its nineteenth year.
Though I spend perhaps 2-3 hours/day 3-5 days/week on it now (I post 3x daily, 7 days/week, down from 8x daily 7 days/week when I started), my flow state is as automatic as it was at the beginning.
I feel fortunate to have found something so reliably rewarding that has persisted throughout the ups and downs of everyday life.
