Finding Your Flow
Foundational Course in Entrepreneurship
“If you are interested in something, you will focus on it, and if you focus attention on
anything, it is likely that you will become interested in it.”
---Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Hungarian Psychologist
We all are passionate about something or the other; something that we love doing whenever we get the
opportunity. This activity will help you identify that passion or interest of yours.
Instructions:
1. Pick four areas that interest you and in which you have frequently been involved. List them row-wise in
Column A.
2. Fill up the adjacent columns against each interest area with either "yes" or "not sure" as applicable.
3. Once you have finished populating the table, identify the row which has the maximum number of
“Yeses.”
4. The row which has the maximum “yeses” is your area of passion, also known as your flow activity.
5. You have 50 minutes to complete this activity.
