This Focused Performance Weblog is a "business management blog" containing links and commentary related primarily to organizational effectiveness with a "Theory of Constraints" perspective. TOC is noted for its applications in Project Management and Multi-Project Management (Critical Chain) and Operations Management (Drum-Buffer-Rope), as well as in Marketing, Strategic Planning and Change Management (TOC Thinking Processes). If you are on an archive page, current postings are found here.
Eight Components of Enjoyment 1. Confronting tasks that we have a chance of completing. 2. Concentration. 3. Concentration is possible because the task has clear goals. 4. Task provides immediate feedback. 5. A deep, effortless involvement removes from awareness the worries and frustrations of everyday life. 6. Enjoyable experiences allow one to exercise a sense of control over one’s actions. 7. Concern for self disappears, yet paradoxically the sense of self emerges stronger after the flow experience is over. 8. Sense of time is altered - hours pass by in minutes.
It's about focus/concentration on a reasonable task, preferably in the form of a series of sub-tasks that provide a sense of accomplishment along the way.
