Describe your feeling of when you do great work - this can be neat design, good code, solution to a really difficult problem, long focused hours, getting multiple things done efficiently.

What preparation helps to be in this zone over sustained period of time ?

I call it the Deep state. If I think about it now, I'm just in it. No other things come to mind.

Obstacle : Not starting already.

Preparation : Trello board of a collection of tasks. Labeling them one by one as done.
