Genius Zone vs. Productivity

We argue that working in your genius zone is not about being “hyper-ultra-mega productive” but about being in a flow state.

EPISODE NOTES

Why it’s tempting to conflate productivity with working in your genius zone (and how to think about it instead).

Finding joy in “brain dead” activities (or anything necessary, but not strictly in your genius zone).

The difference between light lift and deep dive genius zone activities.

How to handle resistance to entering your genius zone.

Why you don’t have to work solo inside your genius zone (aka the magic of co-creating).
