Even though our predictions aren’t always accurate, the simple act of contemplating the future might be a key to well-being.

It usually is a 2-steps process: first, we dream big and imagine fantasy outcomes; then, we “get real” and come up with pragmatic plans.

Your ability to achieve a lasting flow state hinges upon your energy and health.

The four types of rest necessary for creative flow are:

• Mental rest - Meditation, reading fiction and things unrelated to your work.
• Social rest

... we make when it comes to sleeping well before a big day:

• We try too hard to sleep and we end up making it harder to fall asleep.
• We overestimate the negative consequences of poor sleep.
