Change Menu Bar Clock from Digital to Analog on Mac: Flow is a state of mind in which you are totally absorbed in what you are doing. Except for the work you’re doing, everything else seems to fade away.

But you can change it from digital to analog, which can help my fellow clock-watchers focus on the task at hand and increase their chances of getting into that coveted flow state.
