Flow

a mental state

Of persistent focus.
Can be enjoyable, constructive, pro social.
#wp https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_(psychology)
- As defined by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi (I can never remember how to spell his name).
- "In positive psychology, a flow state, also known colloquially as being in the zone, is the mental state in which a person performing some activity is fully immersed in a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and enjoyment in the process of the activity. In essence, flow is characterized by the complete absorption in what one does, and a resulting transformation in one's sense of time."
an action.

#pull flow state

I don't enter flow as often as I would like and that usually frustrates me; it's low key frustration but frustation nevertheless, and it builds up the longer it is sustained. It's like a part of my brain knows that we should get back to it, but life gets in the way; or, most often, I just procrastinate on triggering the right conditions.

Sometimes I like to get into flow with a quick fix.

I am back here on 2024-05 during live noding. I am trying to write in what passes for my long form these days, which is when I jot a few phrases that don't come in bullet points or are chat messages :)

Working on open letters and enjoying life! Looking forward to catching up with friends and loved ones. But tonight: flow in the Agora of Flancia!
