I’ve noticed that I have a very specific range of energy level that lets me do productive work. Some insights:
Alone
I think alone I have slightly too much energy to get into productive workflows often. I can enter the flow if I am either:
- Under a tight deadline
- Really enjoy what I am doing
Around people
I am an extrovert. If I have slightly too much energy by default, then being around people gives me even more energy. This makes me want to do work less.
Note
Sometimes when I’m with one person, I can enter flow quite easily. It depends on the person obviously, but I think it is people that I am comfortable being silent around.

Music
Icarus Falls by Zayn Malik remains unmatched for lowering/focusing my energy into something. Music in general is good for this.
