Sorry about the snow!<br /><br />Absolutely agree that flow is something for an individual, the question is what we can do to encourage flow in our teams. Clarity of objectives and culture appear to be the two biggest. As for effort expanding to fill the time, that&#39;s a really interesting one and something I&#39;m looking at currently with a fascinating book on order from Amazon. Will let you know what insights it yields. <br /><br />Thanks for the birthday wishes and the film recommendation - will go check it out!Caroline Eveleighhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08625693475062845450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4037664139618169991.post-1972067028983733372010-01-19T20:28:20.161Z2010-01-19T20:28:20.161ZCaroline<br /><br />The idea of flow state is something I realy find very real.I am not sure a computer game does it me personally though, rather a challenging piece of work and the satisfaction of getting it just so.<br />I tend to think of it being a state of mind for individuals raherv than groups or teams, is that right? Is that level of focus not what we&#39;d love to achieve in our teams?? What makes or helps us find that perfect place? <br /><br />Another thought is the perfect place an efficient place and does the time and effort we expend justify the time?<br /><br />Finally like to add my best wishes for a successful 365 days of blogging. Did you see the film Julia and Julia which I thought fitted your approach to food and blogging,a good film I thought.<br /><br />RobertRoberthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06178888895926588294noreply@blogger.com
