Flow
Flow describes a state of deep absorption where challenge matches skill, goals are clear, feedback is immediate and distractions are minimal. People report high concentration, loss of time awareness and better performance.
To enter flow, calibrate task difficulty (slightly above current skill), define "done" for the session and work in uninterrupted blocks. Tight feedback loops—like writing small tests or visible milestones—sustain momentum. End blocks with a short note capturing what's next to ease re‑entry.
Flow is not an accident; it is a condition you can design.
