Many people talk about being in the flow. Whether it’s an athletic competition, an artistic project, or writing your book, flow is about transcending the normal to a find a place in your mind where extreme productivity lives and your highest achievements become possible — even effortless.
You know when you are in the flow. Everything is easier, faster, more meaningful. As a writer, after a bout of flow, you have something to show.
While a flow board can’t predict when you’ll have fits of inspiration, it can help you visually track progress and identify where you need to focus your energies for your next writing session.
In simple terms, a flow board is a place to keep track of things. It’s perhaps a whiteboard you can draw on or a cork board to which you can pin things. Any construct works as long as it is in view and sticks around: the point is to develop it over time.
