Immersing yourself in the world of a particularly intriguing book may let you feel absorbed by its characters, its world-building and its story, for hours. This immersion is enjoyable and it doesn’t let you feel trapped; you feel energized but not exhausted; your mind is racing through different concepts and ideas but that feeling of immersion is also guided by a sense of awareness of what you are practicing. If you have ever felt this, then you have been in a **flow state** before and you are basically *tapping* into one of the few loose threads of your purpose in life. Disclaimer: **flow state vs hyperfocus** Flow state is different from hyperfocus, but there’s only a very thin line separating both concepts, and the opinions I read and hear vary; in general, flow is an optimal state of consciousness that can be achieved by anyone, where your intuition and creativity are heightened, decision making is easy or automatic; there is a streamlined sequence of action that allows you to make breakthroughs and tap into your highest level of skill. Hyperfocus is a more compulsive-obsessive state of focus experienced by those who have ADHD, paired with less or no awareness of your surroundings and less control over the state of your mind. It can *have benefits*, as you’re able to do high quality work in short amounts of time; but it’s usually paired with intense burnout or a blank state in the end, so it’s definitely nothing to glorify. Also, this is not the same hyperfocus that Chris Bailey mentions in his book with the same name; I actually believe that what Chris Bailey is referring to in *hyperfocus* is more like flow, as in, a state that you can trigger and motivate yourself to develop and practice, while hyperfocus, as a term already consolidated for ADHD, has different characteristics. — I offer organisation consulting services.

Start planning with Notion today for FREE: http://bit.ly/notionmariana My notion of productivity has drastically changed over time; before, I had a tendency of looking at productivity as a very narrow scope of work that brought you closer to a certain milestone, forcing you to ignore everything else around you; in a way, I saw productivity in an industrial or business-like sense – the rate of output per unit of input. My understanding of productivity is now different; being productive is doing what is valuable to you or others important to you, without losing the sense of the whole.

These are all different concepts that simply summarize the act of organizing and summarizing information with visual aids – graphics, doodles, connectors, boxes, you name it. Visual note taking can also use text, but the ratio of text to images or visual components is much lower than usual, traditional notes. Stock imagery & video supplied by Getty Images.
