Feeling mentally exhausted while staying at home? These kinds of activities can help you find your creative flow again.
Being in flow seems to stop time. Then may we conclude that reading or television-watching"count" as flow-worthy activities?"My lab has actually been thinking a lot about whether and how activities like reading or watching TV and movies could induce flow," writes Sweeny.
Having said that, my grad students are developing some studies to test whether these kinds of activities can be cognitively and/or emotionally challenging in a way that creates flow. For example, I'm really into detective novels these days, and the challenge of figuring out"who done it" might be enough sometimes to create something akin to a flow state. Other times, and with other media, I don't think I quite get there—it's more about zoning out than engaging.
In addition, readers of literary novels may sometimes stop to note the language itself. I will occasionally grab an astonishingly apt sentence or paragraph that I may be able to quote later elsewhere. Writers, I believe, often read more actively, which makes a form of flow more likely to result.Many individuals, apparently, have found jigsaw puzzles to be a deeply engaging and enjoyable way to spend free time these days, according to Richard Godwin, writing in The Guardian.
