Key Takeaways:Having maximum structure and maximum flow allows individuals to work to their highest advantage, rather than sacrificing one for the other.Individuals can fall into one of three categories: high structure, low flow; high flow, low structure; or high structure, high flow, where the ideal balance is found in the "influential third."Create a foundation for the day through a consistent morning routine or Sunday planning. This structure allows for greater openness to unexpected creativity and flow. It’s also important to take a day or week off to unplug and recharge. Hustle and constant productivity are not sustainable. Embrace structure and accountability to maintain passion and creativity while also acknowledging the importance of individual choice and autonomy.  “Ideally, what we would love to have is a high flow, high structure. When we're this way, we get maximum productivity and creativity, you get the best of both worlds, which you're absolutely allowed to have. Remember, you don't have to choose between one or the other.” “Pushing and driving is not sustainable. Grace, flow, and ease are sustainable. Creating that grace and ease sometimes requires powering down.” “When we're out of balance, we tend to either save the bridge and burn the relationship or burn the bridge and save the relationship. Those are the two extremes of structure and flow. But we can have the bridge and the relationship, I swear it is possible.”- Maryanne Dersch
