How the Flow State Keeps Us Creative, Focused, and Happy
If you’ve ever become lost in an activity—playing video games, running, or making art—you’ve noticed that you become completely immersed in the present moment, rising to the challenge of the experience without becoming bored, frustrated, or tired. Thoughts about the past, future, and even the self melt away. Time seems to fly by. You’re in the zone. This is the flow state, first described by late Hungarian-American psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi in the 1970s. Researchers have been chasing the concept ever since, trying to figure out how and why we enter the flow state and how we can get more of this inherently rewarding experience in our everyday lives, in both work and play. Flow is not only an enjoyable state, it is also seen as personally meaningful. “When the self loses itself in a transcendent purpose—whether to write great poetry, craft beautiful furniture, understand the motions of galaxies, or help children be happier—the self becomes largely invulnerable to the fears … [Read more...] about How the Flow State Keeps Us Creative, Focused, and Happy

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 2 Over 37 years, elementary school teacher Laura Baldini taught nearly 1,000 children to read. And over the course of those four decades, public officials and academic experts told her how literacy should be taught, shifting several times from a focus on phonics, to self-discovery and whole word memorization, back to phonics and phonemes and then again to whole language. Then: repeat. She remembers that during her first year teaching K-2 in 1985 veteran teachers hid books in their classroom cupboards so they wouldn’t be tossed out amid the latest battle over how to teach literacy. “It seemed the pendulum swung a lot,” she said. Baldini retired last year from the San Carlos public school system, just as that pendulum was swinging again. Despite more than 100 years of debate and research, there remains no consensus on how to teach children to read, pitching Bay Area schools and their … [Read more...] about The reading wars return: Bay Area schools grapple with phonics versus sight words approach
