Everyone in business wants to get into what is referred to as “the zone”, the mental state in which you are able to perform at your best. The next time you wish to achieve your peak performance, there are a few tips to remember that may come in handy.
One such tip is that there is actually no such thing as “the zone” when it comes to new activities. Upon starting a new task, you are not going to be able to find flow. Being in “the zone” means the activation of a subconscious part of your brain, and this is not accessible if you have never done a certain activity before.
The right environment is also important for getting into “the zone”. Whether it is a quiet library or a crowded cafe, you need to work out the settings which best facilitate your flow and then work in them whenever you can.
Emotions are also very important to getting in “the zone”. You need to be able to find the emotions which allow your subconscious to take over. One way of activating such emotions is with music, so you might want to find artists, songs or albums that get you in the appropriate mood and can help you to block out distractions.
