Passion definitely helps you reach flow. Doing something you find boring or not meaningful you are so much more easily distracted, and often even actively seeking for distractions that it's no surprise that there's no way to get in the state of flow. PS. Good to see long time readers like you still commenting to this blog :) Good point, John. Passion definitely helps you reach flow.

Those things that interest you are more likely to allow you to reach this state. For things you find boring or drudgery you are not likely to find yourself reaching such a state.

I would call him a mentor, but he doesn't know me and we've only ever exchanged one quick email. :) It's interesting how so many great thinkers from both the past and the future share so many ideas with minimalists. I have been reading this ancient japanese book "Tsurezuregusa" by Joshida Kenko and it's awesome to see that minimalism dates back all the way to the dawn of our civilizations. And I guess less awesome to see that even hundreds years ago, the same clash between minimalism and consumerism already existed. Seth Godin is one of my heroes.

I've been a fan of his for years, and lately I've come to realize that a lot of what he teaches is minimalism. No wasteful meetings, no pointless work. Just do something you care about, something that matters, and ship it. What could be more productive / simple than that? It’s funny that you included some thoughts from Seth Godin.
