And he defines flow as the experience of full and deep engagement where time stands still and so on that can occur when you're operating in the flow channel.
And the flow channel is a place of experience where the task you are currently involved in
and your skills to perform that task are in approximate balance.
You're neither over-talented, so you're bored, nor under-talented, so you're anxious and nervous you might fail, but you're really right at the edge of your capability, which means this task is demanding your full attention,
That's the flow zone, the flow channel.
And in that flow channel, you might, not necessarily, you might drop into the flow experience of suddenly finding yourself fully, deeply engaged, time stands still.
And when it's over, the whole thing seemed very satisfying.
It's a really wonderful experience, sometimes called getting in the zone.
Now, our thoughts on that, by the way, are that's a great starting place.
But unfortunately, the way people think of flow
is they think of it at this very high level of engagement, which we refer to as apex flow, which is great.
You know, like when you're having that incredible performance or writing that beautiful sonnet, that's an experience of that kind.

is available much more of the time to many more people, and we all need to access it to have more meaning.
Well, one of the things that's true when I'm in flow is I have to be in the present moment.
I'm engaged enough.
And again, the traditional definition of flow, what you've really done is you've said, I need to find a task that demands so much of me
