Habitually Cycling Ebbs & Flows

Insight: Mindfully Ebbing & Flowing With Inferential Intuition produces an opportunity for intentional flow and ironically intentional mind-wandering.

Going back and forth on a scale, moving from the Default Mode Network & Flow produces a cyclical behaviour, much like a sine wave produces a unit circle.

Rather than thinking purely of the DMN & Flow as opposite sides of a spectrum, they can be considered an inferentially intuitive feedback loop produced from mindful awareness of the ebbing & flowing cycle:

  1. Identify a favourite flow-inducing problem, make notes
  2. Become aware of a block (mindfulness), stop
  3. Go for a walk (induce mind-wandering)
  4. Note epiphanies, ideas, insights as they surface
  5. Write or record the mapping of those insights to the problem note Flow, explaining to others with Feynman Technique
  6. Identify Knowledge Gaps, new problems, new blocks
  7. Repeat
