The flow

It is always interesting when you have an idea in your mind but when someone explains it properly it really makes sense. Take the idea of, 'job satisfaction'. People are moving more and more from their jobs, a 'job for life' is a thing of the past in most cases.

 I left a permanent job to do my PhD and then move into research. Why? It's hard to explain - but then I came across this article on linkedin. A pictures is worth a thousand words right?

So I suppose everyone has to find their own 'flow channel', that sweetspot where you balance boredom and anxiety. I'm sure there will be outliers, i.e. days when you are way out of your depth on something, or watching the clock crawl towards 5pm - but this graph really stuck a chord with me.
