# How to manufacture flow

What if you could manufacture a flow state?

<br>

Flow state isn’t something you can switch on and off.&#x20;

<br>

But it also isn’t something you have to sit around and wait for. In reality, it’s something you can reach through:&#x20;

<br>

\- A clear objective

\- A reasonable workload

\- A positive + creative state of mind

<br>

I recommend going through 3 phases to achieve flow state:&#x20;

<br>

1\) Planning

<br>

2\) Creating space

<br>

3\) Tuning in

<br>

All of this requires long, uninterrupted time to check off tasks. Here’s how Denzil does it:&#x20;

<br>

1\) When you enter a work block, mute your notifications → fully quit any distracting apps → turn on music without lyrics.&#x20;

<br>

2\) Once you’re in that zen mode, it can take 10–15 minutes to really enter flow state.&#x20;

<br>

3\) Start with a 5-minute meditation of sorts — try not to think about anything specific.&#x20;

<br>

4\) Finally, you’re ready to dive in & work through even the most complex tasks.
