The Zone. For such a popular place it's awfully hard to find. I usually just find myself there like I was beamed down, and then some time later just kind of wake up, with no idea how it happened or how to make it happen again. It's clear that the ability to play at that higher level is within me, but equally, maddeningly clear that I can't summon it at will.
I find myself in The Zone more often now than before, and I've discovered and worked on some simple focusing techniques to make it more likely to happen - but I still have to try to coax it out of its hiding place rather than go directly to it.
From what I gather, that's true of everybody else too, but I'm hoping some of you are better at it than I am, or at least have some tips and techniques to share that I haven't thought of.
So spill it - how do you get there? Is it all about focus, or are there other identifying features of being in The Zone that might be followed like breadcrumbs to its secret location?
