Comment on Ask HN: How do you get into the right headspace to think deeply?

Comments

I can’t really force deep thinking for myself. Instead it comes spur of the moment when I’m away from my work. A solution to a problem or a compelling idea will pop into my head, and when that happens is when I’m in the headspace to think deeply.

This is a little different from Flow states I get into when I’m _already_ working. Usually in my work Flow states I’ve already had my spur-of-the-moment-deep-thought and now I’m just implementing in a Deep Work state.
