Mayo Clinic On Human Optimization

E57 The State of Flow: How to Maximize


Listen Later

Hopefully, you’ve experienced getting so absorbed in work or an activity you enjoy that you lose track of time. We tend to be most productive in what is often called a “state of flow.” When harnessed effectively, flow can act like a superpower for personal fulfillment and progress.

To help us better understand and maximize moments of flow, we’re joined by Biju Samkutty, chief operating officer of international and enterprise automation at Mayo Clinic. Known for aligning people, processes and technology, Biju leads Mayo Clinic’s global expansion efforts, including managing international patients, building strategic collaborations and establishing new international entities.

In this episode, we explore three key questions:

  1. What is the state of flow, and why is it critical for performance and well-being?
  2. Why do we struggle to access flow consistently, and how does that impact productivity and happiness?
  3. What proven methods can help us maximize flow in daily life and work?
  4. Learn more about On Human Optimization and access Pod Club questions here.
