Sanjida, I love How to Find Flow…, and I’m looking forward to Part III of the Writers Path! I have to share a recommendation from a cooking class for making a roux, which requires a long period of continual stirring. “Warn the family: Unless you’re losing a limb, fix whatever happens yourself - I can’t help you till my roux is done!!”
Also, your meditation soundscape reminds me of a small step towards Flow I’m achieving based on Part I’s Pomadoro recommendation. I found an app called Focus Keeper that offers an ocean sound during my 25-minute work periods. While certainly not Flow, that soft, irregular aural input has been just enough to keep me from allowing myself to be distracted.
Making a roux sounds quite meditative in itself! I'm always too impatient to spend that long stirring out the lumps!
I love the idea of listening to the ocean whilst working. That must be so soothing. I'll look out the app, aptly named (see what I did there?!). The car we leased has an auto-setting when you turn on the sound system: it plays the sound of the ocean. Must think drivers need to be in a better flow state...

LOL nowadays it’s the kids making a quick roux for homemade mac ‘n cheese. The ocean, soft enough, was a surprise blessing!
