Live Your Life Be Free!

I have been having difficulty lately focusing on writing and other tasks, so I searched for an article on flow. According to this article finding flow is about deeply focusing on the task at hand.

What if you find the work so tedious and boring that you cannot
  possibly write for more than a few minutes before getting a snack,
  making a phone call, doing some "research" on the internet, playing
  a
  quick game of computer solitaire, or rechecking your e-mail?
  Csikszentmihalyi made the observation that things cannot become
  interesting unless we pay attention to them. (This falls into
  the "It’s-so-obvious-why-didn’t-I-say-it-first-category.")

By focusing, really focusing, on the particular story we
  are trying to tell or mechanism we are trying to explain or
  point we are trying to argue, we seize control of our experience
  and make flow (and a better quality of life) possible.

And I see what she means. When I am really living in a story or an essay, I can write it. When I am distracted by phone calls and people messaging me every five seconds, I can’t.
