Flow (psychology) Concentrating on a task is one aspect of flow. In positive psychology, flow, also known colloquially as being in the zone, is the mental state of operation in which a person performing an activity is fully immersed in a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and enjoyment in the process of the activity. In essence, flow is characterized by complete absorption in what one does, and a resulting loss in one's sense of space and time. Flow shares many characteristics with hyperfocus. However, hyperfocus is not always described in a positive light. Just as with the conditions listed above, these conditions can be independent of one another. Ideas similar to flow have been recognized throughout history and across cultures. Flow theory postulates three conditions that have to be met to achieve a flow state: Schaffer (2013) proposed 7 flow conditions: Young child, painting a model Flow may occur in challenging sports such as eventing.

Shopping Tourism: Shop Internationally at Sears Lands' End photo What Grown-Ups Can Learn From Kids' Books An adult reflects on the valuable lessons of The Little Prince, Alice in Wonderland, and Winnie-the-Pooh. Reuters My copy of Le Petit Prince looks like it has been through a natural disaster. Or two. The dust jacket is torn at every edge. What's not torn is frayed. That's not surprising. The Little Prince is not alone to suffer that horrible fate: the designation of "children's book" where it's anything but, where it is actually far more worthy of an adult designation than many a so-called "adult" work. To a child, The Little Prince is the story of a boy who falls from the sky, meets lots of funny people on his travels, and then returns to his star. Think back on those planets the boy visits on his trip to earth. There's the lamplighter, whose job seems at first to be useful, until the prince realizes that it's nothing but mindless routine. There's the poignant drunkard, who drinks, "In order to forget." In that crowd, the subjectless king seems the least absurd of all.

Free: projet 42, une école informatique gratuite et ouverte à tous annonce Xavier Niel FREE - Une école, baptisée 42. Tel est le nouveau projet de l'iconoclaste patron de Free, Xavier Niel, a officialisé ce matin la création de 42, une école d'informatique entièrement gratuite et ouverte à tous les profils. 1000 élèves devraient être admis pour la première promotion. Selon Xavier Niel, 42 sera "en désaccord avec le système d’enseignement classique qui reproduit à l’infini son propre modèle de cooptation sociale. Il broie les individualités, qui sont sources de diversité et de richesses". Les conditions pour en faire partie? Il y a quelques heures, pour faire monter la pression, Xavier Niel avait envoyé un tweet: @babgi Sans initiative privée, pas de révolution ;-) #born2code— Xavier Niel (@Xavier75) 25 mars 2013 Pas grand-chose, certes, mais ses tweets sont très rares et précèdent généralement une grosse annonce. the Rocket is on the launch pad— Xavier Niel (@Xavier75) 13 décembre 2011 Des épreuves dignes de la télé-réalité? Niel avait déjà un pied dans l'éducation

Des centaines de sites Web pour consommer autrement "La consommation collaborative modifie les façons de faire des affaires et réinvente non seulement ce que nous consommons, mais également comment nous consommons", affirment ses défenseurs. De nombreuses nouvelles places de marchés voient ainsi le jour en ligne : que ce soit les systèmes qui transforment les produits en service (on paye pour utiliser un produit sans avoir besoin de l’acheter), les marchés de redistribution (qui organisent la redistribution de produits utilisés ou achetés quand ils ne sont pas ou plus utilisés) et les styles de vie collaboratifs (des gens avec des intérêts similaires s’assemblent pour partager bien, temps, espace, compétences, monnaie, comme dans le cas des achats groupés sur l’internet via les ventes privées, ou du développement des espaces de Coworking. Pour Rachel Botsman et Roo Rogers ces systèmes ont “tendance à devenir, par défaut, la façon dont les gens échangent que ce soit des biens, des lieux, des compétences, de la monnaie ou des services”.
