When it comes to flow, the principle is just as important. Make bigger waves, and you’re more likely to experience flow. Why? Because engaging in an activity with great intensity for a relatively short period is far more conducive to flow than engaging halfheartedly for long periods. Tackling an activity with high energy, feeling refreshed and ready to go is likewise far more conducive to flow than arriving at an activity feeling tired and lethargic.

The practical advice following everything we just discussed is thus twofold. First, we want to approach life like a sprinter rather than a marathoner—we want to work in intense sprints with frequent breaks in between rather than in a continuous, linear, never-ending slog. Second, we want to prioritize and optimize our recovery so that we can arrive at flow activities with as much energy as possible.

In the remainder of this chapter, we’ll have a closer look at working and living in sprints. In the next chapter, we’ll pick up the topic of optimal recovery.
