What does it mean to accelerate your workflow?
Accelerate workflow = Increase creativity
What is creativity?
Divergent thinking
Divergent thinking is a thought
process or method used to
generate creative ideas by
exploring many possible
solutions
Flow
Flow is the mental state of
operation in which a person
performing an activity is fully
immersed in a feeling of
energized focus, full
involvement, and enjoyment
in the process of the activity.
- Mihály Csíkszentmihályi
