Getting Lost in the Creative Flow

You know that feeling when you’re so into something that time just slips away? That’s me when I’m in my creative zone. Whether I’m writing, editing photos, designing, or working on a video, I get completely lost in it. I’ll start, thinking it’s only been 30 minutes, then look up and realize 2–3 hours have passed. Every single time.

I’m super detail-oriented and, honestly, a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to my creative work. Every little thing has to feel right, or it stays in the draft pile until it’s ready. I don’t just want to finish something—I want to be proud of it.

What’s funny is I never even notice how much time I’m spending. Everything else fades out, and I’m locked in. And I love that feeling. Being so into something that nothing else exists in that moment? It’s the best.

If you know, you know. And if you haven’t experienced it yet, I hope you find that thing that makes time disappear for you. It’s one of the most satisfying feelings ever.

What’s something you get so into that you completely lose track of time?

“ How you look at a situation is very important, for how you think about a problem may defeat you before you ever do anything about it. When you get discouraged or depressed, try changing your attitude from negative to positive and see how life can change for you. Remember, your attitude toward a situation can help you to change it — you create the very atmosphere for defeat or victory." – Franco Harris
