He has basically given me more of my life back

Quick summary

Nichol discovered how to reliably enter Flow states while writing a book, unlocking greater creativity and pattern recognition. This transformation gave them back precious time and made a major creative endeavor more manageable.

"When you get into Flow you’re more creative, you draw more conclusions between things, you see patterns that you wouldn’t otherwise see. To be able to harness that and to be able to do it reliably and predictably around the writing of a book, which is a major endeavour. He [Steven] has basically given me more of my life back."
