Hi. I’m Jim Stone.
I received my Ph.D. from the University of Washington in 2006 in Philosophy with an emphasis in Motivational Psychology. I'm also a software developer and entrepreneur. Since 2005 I've been building web-based software tools and writing guides to help small business owners and creative individuals be more productive and see more success.
Welcome to Work With Flow. This is where I share tips and strategies for working on your creative projects with low stress and high productivity. The tips and strategies are based on the latest research in Motivational Psychology (and years of practice).
Look for help with procrastination, keeping a clear mind, setting worthy goals, effective planning and execution, and things like that.
