https://www.rogersresearchglobal.comWhen your time is in focus
Your life comes into focus
In today's episode, I’ll be breaking down how executive functioning, mindfulness, and the flow state work together to pull you out of autopilot and into purposeful, energized living.
You’ll learn:
- Why real productivity comes from presence—not pressure
- How to reclaim your focus in a distraction-heavy world
- The truth about multitasking
- What it really takes to reach the flow stat
- Simple steps to align your goals, habits, and time with the life you actually want
- By the end, you’ll see how bringing your time into focus brings your whole life into focus.
Characteristics of Flow
People in flow often describe:
• Heightened focus and concentration
• Clear goals and a sense of where they’re heading
• Immediate feedback—“I can tell how I’m doing as I go”
• A distortion of time (either speeding up or slowing down)
• A feeling of joy or intrinsic reward
• A merging of self and action—no self-consciousness
• The right balance between challenge and skill
• A sense of control and mastery
• And afterward? Calm, fulfillment, satisfaction
It’s the sweet spot where your brain says, “Yes… this is exactly where I’m meant to be.”
Here are 5 questions to help you understand your own relationship with flow. You'll find these questions in TIME IN FOCUS 2026 PLANNER
If you’re unsure about any of these, ask someone who really knows you—they often see our strengths and passions more clearly than we do.
- When have you completely lost track of time because you were so absorbed in what you were doing?
- What activities leave you feeling energized—not drained—even hours later?
- What skills feel natural to you, even when they require effort?
- What types of challenges stretch you in a way that feels exciting rather than overwhelming?
- Is the way you’re living right now aligned with your potential for flow? If yes—how? If not—what needs to shift?
