the experience of being fully engaged in the moment where time stands still and I feel fully present, all that stuff, which is great.

Where does that happen?

So first of all, we're saying it happens in this place called the flow world.

So flow occurs when I'm fully in the present moment and that's really where the flow world is existing.

So let's go where flow can be found.

Saying once we posit the flow world is the place where you might enter the flow state.

And then on the flow state that we originally defined, there's this thing called the flow channel.

which is where the task at hand and my skillset are close.

So my capacity and what the task demands of me are really close.

So I'm neither over-skilled and then I get bored or I'm neither under-skilled and then I get anxious.

Yeah, I'm right at my skill level.

So the situation is demanding the most of me.

And what we notice about – and that's fine.

We call that apex flow, which is where I'm really right on the ragged edge of my capability.

And the reason I can drop into flow in that situation is –

The circumstance, i.e.

the task.

It takes all of me.

So literally the way I put that is I have now delegated responsibility for my degree of engagement in life to the quality of the task.

I need to find some task that will so demand of me my attention that I finally become fully present.
