This article impressed me. I worked at the computer from just about 8:00 yesterday morning until nearly 10:00 last night (with breaks for eating and eliminatory processes - and the odd cup of coffee). Most of it was day-job, some of it was side work, a little was personal: all of it was sitting on my butt working through challenges of logic and technological barriers.
I know that Michelle doesn't like it when I do that. She gets outraged on my behalf, and sometimes it's kinda cute. I was getting things done yesterday, though, and was frequently in The Zone. Some of that is almost meditative, when I'm not totally focused on Getting Something Done, when my fingers and my mind are only distantly connected.
The article below explains that Zone pretty well.
