from Keep the Flow

Discover how building your own attention map can help you stay focused, unlock flow, and navigate creative distractions with clarity.Sign up for The Interval, my free newsletter for inspiration in your inbox: https://subscribe.scottmclemore.comIn this episode, I explore how the concept of "attention maps" — inspired by self-driving cars and advice my dad gave me when I first learned to drive — can help us navigate the creative process. Just like learning to rely on peripheral vision while driving, creative flow requires us to manage distractions while staying focused on what really matters. I talk about how we build our personal attention maps over time, how they shape our style, and how to keep momentum when doubts and detours arise.__________Follow me on Patreon for free: https://patreon.com/scottmclemoreMusic: https://scottmclemore.bandcamp.comhttps://scottmclemore.com Hosted on Acast.
