Do you ever get into flow state at work? My creative time is being eaten alive by internal status meetings, and I’m finding it hard to actually get into flow when my calendar looks like a game of Tetris.

Block out time on your calendar whenever you have early insight to what you have to work on. Either the day before or the morning of I block out my time when I have work that I need to focus on. And if you have to miss a status call it shouldn't hurt to miss one from time to time. They can always reach out to you directly to get info or check in. Work comes first.

My company issues top of the line 16” MBP’s for engineers and lower end 13” MBP’s for all others. I work in analytics/ data science and struggle with the fact that my computer can only run 1 external display! No one else on my team cares. How can I navigate requesting a more expensive computer without annoying my leadership? I already own an upgraded MBP as my personal - can I offer to swap my work and personal machines?
