Power of Flow Compass
Where what absorbs you meets what's useful
A sheet for pinning down what makes you lose track of time.
You set side by side the things you got absorbed in, the things you felt proud of finishing, and the moments you helped someone.
You can even jot down the things you want to keep doing, even if you're not good at them.
How it works
- Read the questions at the top and think back to a recent time when you were fully absorbed.
- In the boxes below, write the things that made you lose track of time, the things you felt proud of, and the moments you were a help.
- Read the boxes side by side and look for where they overlap.
- Underline the things you want to keep doing.
When · with whom
This one you do on your own. When you're wondering which way to take your work or career, pulling it out gives you a thread to follow.
Power of Flow Compass
- Losing track of time — when you're absorbed
- After finishing — once you've pulled it off
- For someone else — beyond yourself
- Underline anything you'd want to keep doing even if you're not good at it.
