Why do some tasks feel effortless while others feel impossible? Why can I run for hours but can't sit down and write for 20 minutes?

In this episode I sit down with psychologist and researcher Dr Megan Lee to break down the science of flow: the state where you lose track of time and perform at your best. We talk about Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi's research, Sue Jackson's nine dimensions of flow, why athletes access flow so easily, and how the rest of us can get there too.

We also get into a really honest conversation about where we both struggle. Megan can't get to the gym. I can't sit at a laptop. We talk about the 30-minute timer technique, atomic habits, habit stacking, and why starting is always the hardest part.
