Likewise, a mind incapable of processing more information will shut shop soon,
When the reading on the gauge hits 110 bits of information per second,
Dr. Csikszentmihalyi, the flow expert, says the mind can hardly process any more.
Listening to someone speak is processing 60 bits of information per second,
Aha! Any wonder then that when two people are talking at same time,
One can’t listen to both of them and understand what they are saying,
Ride on this discovery, dear friend and trust Dr. Csikszentmihaly, to get to the state of “flow”.
Concentrated attention is collection of units of power on a chosen point of attention,
So, when all those 110 bits of horse-power power your passion to create something new,
There is attention none left to monitor how your body feels or the problems that you may have,
Ego falls away. Time flies. Flow state is being completely involved in an activity for its own sake.
