Do you know the feeling, that sometimes time seems to barely move, while at other times it just flies by? We encounter this paradox of time in varied experiences, sometimes we find ourselves racing against the clock in back-to-back meetings, other times we're so immersed in what we're doing that we don't even notice time passing. In both scenarios time appears to be passing swiftly, yet still it carries different qualities. In their exploration of time's intricacies, the greeks discovered two different measures of time: Chronos and Kairos.
Have you ever been in that perfect zone—the sweet spot where joy takes the lead, and you're riding the wave of productivity? When was the last time that you expirienced flow? Where did it happen? Have you been alone or in a group? How did it feel? How would you discribe it? Did it happen in the work environment?
Many of us have faced the challenge of figuring out how much time tasks will take, whether it's during Sprint Planning, drafting project proposals, or estimating delivery times for orders. A recurring issue for many teams is the tendency to consistently underestimate the amount of time a task will take, leading to the inclusion of excessive work in their sprints.
In the fast-paced world of modern work, finding that sweet spot of intense focus and productivity known as FLOW can be a game-changer. This state, characterized by deep concentration, a clear sense of purpose, and rapid feedback, is the key to unlocking your full potential.
