Thanks for this piece. Describing work states as Flow, frenzy and distractions is quite useful.

What do you think of Cal Newport's "slow productivity"? I've tried to follow what he means multiple times and all I get is it's an alternative to Flow which is not always possible.

Another book you might find interesting is Chris Palmer's Brain Energy which suggests mental health issues are from mitochondrial damage. I remember your reviews of Obesity Code, which got me onto this whole diet and fasting thing, and it makes me think you'd like this.
